On the occasion of the 30th Český Krumlov International Music Festival, we paid tribute to Antonín Dvořák. Dvořák would have celebrated his 180th birthday last year, with two concerts. We will continue to show appreciation for the world’s most-played Czech composer also in 2022. His work is dedicated to the established Dvořák Trio. That brings together three great soloists, cellist Tomáš Jamník, violinist Jan Fišer, and pianist Ivo Kahánek. Ivo Kahánek was the star of the closing evening of the 29th year of the festival when he was accompanied by the Czech Philharmonic. In the same year, Jan Fišer also performed at the festival, as part of the Bennewitz Quartet. All three artists belong to the world’s elite. They have been playing together as a trio since 2004. That time they were still students at the Music and Dance Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. The students have become brilliant players and as a whole, they are a respected chamber ensemble that receives excellent reviews not only from audiences but also from Czech and foreign critics.
