Smetanovo trio / Smetana Trio

🇨🇿 The Smetana Trio, two-time winner of the BBC Music Magazine Award and resident ensemble of London's Wigmore Hall in the 2024-2025 season, is returning to Prague Spring after eight years. "Our concert will be a window into the emotional world of four stylistic epochs: classicism, romanticism and music of the 20th and 21st centuries," explains pianist Jitka Čechová about the dramaturgy of the evening. In the acoustically ideal environment of St. Agnes Monastery, the ensemble will perform three compositions from the golden fund of its repertoire: piano trios by Joseph Haydn, Bohuslav Martinů and Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. The world premiere will feature a composition for piano trio by Jan Dušek, commissioned by Prague Spring.
