Domus Artis – Festival of Chamber Music

33 classical compositions and more than 20 excellent domestic and foreign performers will make seven spring Sunday evenings pleasant for anyone who comes.

The dramaturgy emphasizes Central European contexts, anchored in the traditions of domestic chamber music cultivation, but also brings rarely played titles of “early music” (Hinterleitner, Weichenberger, Durand) or unknown works of the saxophone repertoire (Singelée, Demersseman, Kastner, Gilson, etc.).

Five concerts present the music of the “classics” of the 19th and 20th centuries. century (Bartók, Dohnányi, Honegger, Debussy, Ravel, Janáček, Brouwer) and most of them feature works by Slovak authors (Šimai, Zeljenka, Parík, Bella, Albrecht, Németh-Šamorínsky, Godár).

One concert is a historical excursion into the lute music of the 17th and 18th centuries. It will also feature the music of Paul Carl Durand, a native of Prešpor, a musician associated with the Cathedral of St. Martin, who was supported by o.i. Hungarian Primate Imrich Esterházy.

The final concert is a tribute to Adolph Sax and his instrument, which has permanently established itself in chamber and symphonic music.
