The Burying of Light: Concert Various

This concert by the Martinů Voices ensemble will pay tribute above all to the works of two Polička natives – composer Bohuslav Martinů and poet and novelist Miloslav Bureš. Jiří Gemrot’s cantata The Burying of Light on Bureš’s lyrics, which Martinů also wished to set to music, will be heard for the first time.
