Young, award-winning ensemble from Prague to perform at the Manoel
An award-winning concert trio from Prague will be presenting an evening of chamber music at the Manoel Theatre, Valletta, on Wednesday, in celebration of the Year of Czech Music 2024.
Founded in 2016, Trio Incendio features pianist Karolína Františová, violinist Filip Zaykov and cellist Vilém Petras. The young trio is known for its sense of delicacy and style in works of classicism, a warmth of sound in their interpretation of romantic pieces, as well as a captivating approach to contemporary music.
They have won several international competitions such as the Joseph Haydn Competition in Vienna, the Coop Music Awards in Cremona, Concorso Musicale “Marcello Pontillo” in Florence, and the Bohuslav Martinů Competition in Prague, where they also received a special prize for the best interpretation of work by Martinů.
The group participates regularly in the International Summer Academy in Reichenau organised by the University of Music in Vienna.
During Wednesday’s concert, they will perform a selection of compositions from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including Martinů’s Trio No. 3 in C, H.332, Franz Liszt’s Tristia for Piano Trio, S. 378c (after La Valée d’Obermann), and Antonín Dvořák’s Trio Nr. 2 g-Moll, Op. 26. These compositions feature highly dramatic scores, punctuated by romantic elements and a sense of grandeur.
The concert starts at 8pm. Tickets are available from the Manoel Theatre box office or teatrumanoel.mt or by calling the box office at (+356) 2124 6389.
