Jana Mimrová, a Young Conductor, to Conduct the Opening Concert of Eternal Hope
Her middle name, Cecilia, is after Saint Cecilia, the patroness of music. That is not the only thing that predetermined Jana (26 years young) to become a conductor. She was born in the town of Česká Třebová and raised in a musical environment: her father is a violin player and conductor, mother a pianist, and both are teachers.
Michaela Vidláková, born Lauscherová, and her parents were transported to Theresienstadt in December 1942. She celebrated her sixth birthday shortly after arriving there. A series of coincidences and a dose of courage helped her and her parents survive.
One of the most successful Czech instrumentalists of his generation, oboe player Vilém Veverka, has become the face of this year’s Eternal Hope festival. The same passion that goes into an uncompromising exploration of the limits of his instrument drives Vilém to beat his own limits in mountain expeditions documented by unique photos.
„Musica Non Grata, a four-year project funded by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is going to sponsor two concerts and one performance of Eternal Hope, a festival of composers not only from Theresienstadt. The project’s objective is to highlight the special importance of the relations between the two countries and to comemorate the group of composers persecuted by the Nazis, and artists with close ties to Prague and the Czech Republic.“
The patronage of the 9th annual Eternal Hope (Věčná naděje) Festival was assumed by
Ambassador of the Republic of Austria, Dr. Bettina Kirnbauer Ambassador of the Republic of Poland, Barbara Krystyna Tuge-Erecińska Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany, Peter Matthias Reuss Mayor of Prague 1, Terezie Radoměřská
