We present you a new musical project in the inspiring collaboration with the NeoKlasik Orchestra and conductor Václav Dlasek!

“Here is my home”, Bohuslav Martinů titled his set of four cantatas to the texts of the poet M. Bureš, which are the essence of the Czech countryside. They are full of folk poetics, beauty and purity. He wrote them from a long exile in the last years of his life and never looked back home.

The main star of our new concert program is one of them, the charming Legend of the Smoke from Potato Tops, which literally smells of autumn…

Come with us to rural churches at the end of September to experience the story of the Virgin Mary, who, just at the time of burning potato tops, descended from the altar and went into the fields among the people!
