Martinů Voices | Czech Chamber Music Society

ABOUT THE CONCERT

Vocal-instrumental music will be represented in Series I by a grand concert featuring works by Bohuslav Martinů and Jiří Gemrot. The shared theme is inspiration drawn from Czech traditions, especially those rooted in the Vysočina region. Mikeš of the Mountains is one of several cantatas by Martinů celebrating his native land. Gemrot continues this thread with a piece based on the customs of the region's historic glassmakers.
