Description was written before the event

Karel Plíhal performs on August 29, 2026 at the Antonín Dvořák Memorial in Vysoká u Příbrami, accompanied by guitarist Petr Fiala.

Plíhal's concerts are known for their mood shifts - cheerful verses blend with emotionally charged lyrics, self-ironic rhymed passages introduce or complement individual compositions. His distinctive guitar playing is central to the experience.

About the venue: Památník Antonína Dvořáka

The summer retreat of Antonín Dvořák at Vysoká u Příbrami, where the composer spent his holidays from 1884 onwards and wrote several major works, including Symphony No. 8. The villa is now a museum with period furniture and personal mementos. In the adjoining park stands Dvořák's famous dovecote, one of the most recognisable features of the estate.
