DKO, Jihlava

concert Classical date culture

Buy ticket on sale until 15 Sep

Pianists and composers Ondřej Brzobohatý and Ondřej Brousek - lifelong friends - will meet on one stage at DKO in Jihlava.

The evening's programme is built on musical humour: how would "Fate" sound if Beethoven had been an optimist? Why do we cry at banal film dialogue? What is "inappropriate" music? And can a "Battle of the Pianos" have a winner? The Brousek - Brzobohatý duo will answer these questions with the help of two pianos.

Both instruments are concert grand pianos W. HOFFMANN Professional P206, which the event partner C. Bechstein has loaned to Jihlava (www.bechstein.com).
