About the venue: Koncertní síň MKZ Uničov

The concert hall U Minoritů was created by converting the Gothic church of a former Minorite monastery founded in Uničov at the end of the 14th century. Emperor Ferdinand V donated the church to the town in 1844; it was closed after World War II and reconstructed into a concert hall during the 1970s, opening formally in 1983. The space also houses a gallery with an exhibition on the history of the Minorite order. Renowned chamber music performers appear here regularly, alongside exhibitions and other cultural events.

About: Jan Adamus

Jan Adamus is a Czech oboist and conductor who won first prize at the Prague Spring International Competition in 1977, launching a career that took him to stages in Salzburg, Munich, Berlin and beyond. He was the first oboist in the Czech lands to master circular breathing, allowing him to sustain long phrases without a break. He has collaborated with artists such as Josef Suk and Jiří Bělohlávek, and recorded a wide range of Baroque and Classical oboe concertos.
