Program

Haimoni Balgavá
Tam okolo Strečna – world premiere

Franz Schubert
Symphony No. 7 B minor „Unfinished“

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
A Midsummer Night´s Dream, op. 21 – selection

The last of the five premiere programs of the new Chief Conductor of the Slovak Sinfonietta, František Macek, combines romanticism in music with the dreamlike and even fairytale theme of the upcoming compositions. For the first time in its history, the Fatra House of Arts stage will feature a selection of all the incidental music to Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, featuring great young Slovak singers working abroad – Adriana Banásová and Zuzana Čurmová in conjunction with the Girl’s Choir of the Žilina Conservatory.
