Festival Krumlov: Siebeneichener Quartet

Festival Krumlov: Siebeneichener Quartet transports you to the enchanting gardens of Český Krumlov, where four exceptionally young Czech musicians—David Hernych and Marek Pavlica on violins, Dorothea Dalecká Kellerová on viola and David Pěruška on cello—deliver a dazzling musical odyssey that spans centuries. Their repertoire weaves classicism into romantic melodies, then leaps into the evocative sounds of the twentieth century, all while infusing each piece with youthful vitality and fresh interpretation. The program opens with the bright charm of Mozart’s Divertimento in F major, K. 138, and the lilting Two Waltzes (Op. 54) by Dvořák, before venturing into Borodin’s ethereal String Quartet No. 2 «Notturno». The journey then embraces Dvořák’s adventurous String Quartet No. 12 «American» (Op. 96), and culminates in Philip Glass’s modern String Quartet No. 3 «Mishima» – a striking selection inspired by the 1985 film soundtrack of Paul Schrader. The finale delights with pop-inflected gems: the iconic Scrappin’ ragtime spirit of Joplin’s «The Entertainer», the jazzy flair of Ježek’s «Bugatti Step», and the soulful Neapolitan classic «O sole mio», all reimagined for string quartet. Witness how this quartet blends traditional chamber music rigor with bold new inspirations, creating a concert that is as engaging for seasoned connoisseurs as it is accessible and thrilling for a broader audience.
