The unity of space and time in music; in honor of Jože Plečnik
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of architect Jože Plečnik, Open House Praha is organizing a concert of music by selected Plečnik contemporaries as part of the accompanying program of the 8th edition of the festival, featuring works by Josef Bohuslav Foerster. The selection of pieces is made by musicians from the Stamic Quartet, which is one of our leading chamber ensembles. The focus of their interpretive work is on string quartets by Czech and world composers, but they also concentrate on chamber music works. The quartet is named after Jan Václav Stamic, one of the most notable Czech composers from the period of early classicism, whose compositional legacy includes 50 symphonic works, several violin concertos, and many chamber pieces.
Preliminary program:
Introductory word: architect Zdeněk Lukeš
J. Suk: Meditation on the Old Czech Hymn "Saint Wenceslas"
J. B. Foerster: Prayer
J. B. Foerster: String Quartet No. 4, F major, Op. 182
K. Kovařovic: selection from works
The concert will take place in the Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord at Jiřího z Poděbrad Square, a temple designed by the brilliant Slovenian architect, which is the most significant Czech sacred building of the 20th century. A modern and very distinctive dominant feature of Prague's Vinohrady, inspired by early Christian models, it was built between 1928 and 1932. Jože Plečnik was a close collaborator of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk and contributed to the modernization of Prague Castle as the residence of the newly established state’s president.
The concert is held with the kind support of the concert partner, the Roman Catholic parish at the Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord, Prague-Vinohrady, specifically its priest, Mr. Father ThLic. Jan Houkal, Th.D.
