Adam Plachetka

ABOUT THE CONCERT 

Songs with piano accompaniment became one of the main ways through which the Romantic composers could convey even the most intimate emotional impulses with purity, concentration, and authenticity. Of course, such feelings are best expressed after nightfall, as performers Adam Plachetka and David Švec are aware. For this performance, they will guide the audience through a world of evening songs and nocturnal dreams.
