Magdalena Kožená
17th December 2021 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
The Czech mezzo-soprano brings a characteristically varied programme, with songs from her homeland as well as the German, Russian and Hungarian traditions. Having previously championed the music of her compatriot Bohuslav Martinů, she includes a song collection (1942) written during his American exile that was also a favourite of exiled foreign minister and fine amateur pianist Jan Masaryk.
