Lights and Shadows – Camerata 2018
23. June – 19:30
The evening’s program connects music across centuries in a reflection on transformation, inner tension, and existential gestures. Jan Dušek‘s piano trio La seconda morte, completed in 2025, opens up space for emotions of love, rebirth, demise, and guilt, while chamber works by Bohuslav Martinů and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart showcase various forms of musical drama—from neoclassical energy to the darker expression of classicism. The program concludes with Arnold Schoenberg‘s expressive Ode to Napoleon, a powerful musical statement about power, freedom, and individual responsibility. The evening thus creates an arc between intimate chamber music and an urgent social appeal.
