Bohuslav Martinu (1890-1959): Three Czech Dances for two Pianos, H 324
George Gershwin (1898-1937): An American in Paris (arranged for 2 Pianos by Enrico Pieranunzi, Czech premiere)

Performers:

Robert Kolinsky, Switzerland - piano
Enrico Pieranunzi, Italy - piano

The concert will be hosted by Emma Smetana.

The Bohuslav Martinu Institute's major project is the gradual publication of all of Martinu's works in critical editions. The financial sponsor of the Complete Bohuslav Martinu Edition is the Bohuslav Martinu Foundation. Yet the project will run for decades and its full funding is beyond the foundation's possibilities. Therefore, in addition to obtaining various partial grants, the Bohuslav Martinu Institute would like to hold annual benefit concerts and also offer the individual volumes of the Complete Bohuslav Martinu Edition for "adoption". More information you may find here.

Please note the concert has a 15 minutes intermission.

The impressive Liechtenstein Palace: the seat of Prague Academy of Music and a favourite concert venue

The Liechtenstein Palace was built on the grounds of five city houses in 1591 and rebuilt in Classical style in 18th cenutry. The princely family of Lichtensteins gradually lost interest in the Palace and sold it to the Earl of Ledebour. Later on, the Palace housed many different institutions, until finally in 1980´s it was acquired by the Academy of Musical Arts.

It was beautifully reconstructed and adjusted for the purposes of the Academy. Nowadays, the Liechtenstein Palace is literally full of music! The Liechtenstein Palace is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
