Matyáš Novák, a graduate of Prague's Academy of Performing Arts and Italy's Incontri col Maestro academy, is one of those pianists who combine technical virtuosity with a gift for storytelling. His repertoire includes hundreds of compositions and dozens of piano concertos, but he always strives to make the music speak to the heart.
His recital for Eternal Hope has a clear dramaturgy: the first half belongs to composers of Jewish origin, the second to works born of personal or social tragedies. Mozart wrote his Sonata KV 310 after the death of his mother, Janáček's sonata responds to the thwarted life of a young worker, and Novák's own adaptation of Dvořák's Rusalka was written at a time of personal loss during the pandemic.
Music thus becomes a space where hope is transformed into beauty and the courage to live – despite lack of freedom, pain, and time.
The concert will take place in the Baroque Church of St. Lawrence under Petřín Hill, whose history dates back to the 12th century. This intimate space with its exceptional atmosphere will lend the music a depth and power that cannot be experienced in concert halls.
