Robert Pospiš & Martin Sillay: K piesňam

Organizer’s text:

Following the hugely successful concerts promoting the albums Hydra (Pospiš / Sillay / Valent / Skuta) and Srna pozerajúca na Polárku (A recording dedicated to the poet Mile Haugová), the respected music and production duo is planning a series of intimate concerts across Slovakia.

Both musicians will play a selection from their rich discography in an evocative form. As a duo and with great emphasis on the stories behind individual songs. It is from this approach that the name of the entire concert series is derived. Thanks to the excellent response to their last concerts, both musicians are convinced that today’s audiences want to be close to the music. There will be stories about individual songs, rarities, and surprises. The series of concerts K piesňam will be a powerful experience for both the audience and the performers themselves.
