The second edition of the Prague Quiet Music Festival presents quieting and contemplation in the charming Baroque spaces of Fortna, a convent of the Discalced Carmelites near Prague Castle. The main guest will be the Austrian musician Klaus Lang (AT), whom the festival will present as both a composer and a performer – as part of a solo organ recital composed of his music and pieces from the 15th and 16th centuries. The Ranjevš & Óbasz (CZ/SK) duo will take us on an unpredictable musical journey on the boundaries of minimalism and improvisation responding to the musical present in the convent’s cloister. The programme will also include a concert by the Prague Quiet Music Collective (CZ), which will feature the world premiere of a piece by Lang written for the ensemble, as well as compositions by Eva-Maria Houben (DE) and Adrián Demoč (SK). The event will conclude with a performance of the music of Jürg Frey (CH) featuring all of the evening’s performers.
This day full of gently flowing contemplative music will be complemented by a workshop, Introduction to Meditation – Silent Meditation (Also) For Beginners, a guided tour and exhibition introducing the architecture and history of Fortna, a reading corner, a tea bar by Meetea, and vegetarian food.
