Vítězslava Kaprálová and Geraldine Mucha (wife of Jiří Mucha) are two of the seven women composers whose work is being celebrated in a unique tribute, brought to London fresh from its premiere at the International Music Festival Český Krumlov by the talented young violinist Elizabeth Jiřičková and pianist Barbora Brabcová.
With a meticulously researched programme of rediscovery, this concert puts the remarkable women composers of Czech music centre stage and showcases their roles as sought-after virtuosos, renowned conductors, and original composers, challenging the traditional view of women as mere muses.
Enriching the landscape of Czech classical music, which is more famous for works by Smetana, Dvořák, and Janáček, while honouring the creative genius of women composers, the concert will also present the works of Jana Obrovská, Anna Houdková-Kozánková, Matylda Chrudimská, Zdenka Kendíková, and Sláva Vorlová.
