Sára Medková

This time, Sara Medková's piano recital is tailor-made for the American Spring exclusively from compositions of American composers of the second half of the 20th century. The only exception will be the Czech premiere of the author's interpretation of her own Sonata. All other compositions have a common multimedia overlap, where in addition to the piano playing itself, the performer will present herself in the role of a dancer, singer, percussionist and reciter.

She performed at the prestigious stages in more than twenty European countries, in the US, Asia and Africa, and premiered about 100 new compositions.
