HARMONIA MORAVIAE 2024
This year's event is the culmination of our Year of Czech Music celebrations, and the focus is therefore on Czech music, where our concert hall designed by Eva Jiřičná will come alive to the sound of works by Antonín Dvořák, Zdeněk Fibich, Otakar Jeremiáš, Bohuslav Martinů, Vítězslav Novák, Otakar Ostrčil, Bedřich Smetana, Josef Suk and Otakar Zich. This year's festival also reflects the founding anniversary of the Smetana Trio (1934) and the 190th anniversary of the birth of writer Jan Neruda (1834). It commemorates St. Wenceslas, the patron saint of the Czech lands, the "greatest Czech" King Charles IV, the "laughing hero" knight Jan Paleček, and highlights the 190th anniversary of the first public performance of the song 'Kde domov můj'. Last but not least, the festival marks the double anniversary of Bedřich Smetana (b. 1824, †1884), with two special evenings each with their own dedication to his artistic legacy.
Over the course of its seven weeks, Harmonia Moraviae showcases outstanding performers from this country and abroad, including Petr Nouzovský, Dalibor Karvay, Jiří Vodička, Ondřej Brousek, Roman Hoza and Pavla Vykopalová, as well as the Czech Academic Choir of Brno and the choir of the Brno National Theatre's Janáček Opera company. Gracing the festival's podium will be the Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic's chief conductor Robert Kružík, the two principal conductors Tomáš Brauner and Leoš Svárovský, and visiting guest conductors Sergey Smbatyan and Guerassim Voronkov.
In early November, the festival welcomes the Mexican tenor Rolando Villazón, one of the most renowned and brightest stars of contemporary opera, together with the American mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey, another major figure in the world of opera, making our Grand Finale a very special cultural event whose prestige extends well beyond the confines of our region.
Tickets for the concerts can be purchased online or at the FBM box office in the Zlín Congress Centre.
