Baroko: Michal Horáček & hosté

The recital offers a journey into the era of High Baroque.

Through both words and music, it not only evokes the spirit of the time but also seeks its timeless resonances—offering sources of inspiration for life in the 21st century. This ambition to reflect and connect is emphasized by the very space in which the artists meet their audience: the magically conceived Mirror Chapel of the Clementinum in Prague.

An atmosphere that is both unreal and deeply real is further shaped by the paintings of Václav Vavřinec Reiner. They depict biblical figures from around the year 1720. These people carry their own burdens and face their own challenges—yet in many ways, they are closer to us than it might first seem. It is precisely this sense of closeness that Michal Horáček explores in his reflections.
