Bohuslav and Vita
This work is a tribute to two personalities of 20th century Czech music - Vítězslava Kapralová and Bohuslav Martinů.

A performance full of strong emotions presents the compelling story of one musical friendship, human intimacy and inspirational love that took place against the backdrop of Europe´s turbulent history at the turn of the 1930s and 1940s.
