On September 18 2022 a concert will take place under the name „Known Unknowns“ in the New Town Hall during the „Lieder Company Concert Season 2022“.

Many composers constantly surprise us with their works. Many of them are familiar, but there are certainly some forgotten ones waiting to be discovered. The songs of this year’s jubilarians Igor Stravinsky (140th anniversary of his birth), Arthur Honegger (130th anniversary of his birth), Darius Milhaud (130th anniversary of his birth) or Zoltán Kodály (140th anniversary of his birth) are undoubtedly such composers, even though it may be surprising in connection with their names. The protagonists of this concert, mezzo-soprano Jana Hrochová and young baritone Robin Červinek, are sought-after song performers. They will be joined by other instrumentalists in the songs of Igor Stravinsky. The piano parts will be performed by the award-winning pianist Bohumír Stehlík.

The compositions will be performed in the original and accompanied by Czech subtitles.
