Erwin Schulhoff: Five Pieces for String Quartet
Viktor Ullmann: String Quartet No. 3
Erwin Schulhoff (1849 - 1942 Würzburg) The composer's enthusiasm for grotesque aspects, satire, and particularly dada comes to the fore in his smaller works. Schulhoff composes to texts of dadaist lyrics by Jean Arp * the cycle of songs Die Wolkenpumpe for baritone, four winds, and percussion (1922). For the piece Bassnachtigall, three pieces for counterindication for bassoon also from 1922, the composer added his own text in a provocative form, as was customary at the notoriously chaotic Dada concerts: "The divine spark may be present in the contrabassoon, just as in a sausage." !
Viktor Ullmann (1898 - 1944 Auschwitz-Birkenau) from his work: the opera The Fall of the Antichrist is a multilayered, synesthetic, apocalyptic vision of the Regent's rule, who claims to rid humanity of dependence on nature and divine forces. The Regent (a precursor of Hitler) imprisons the Technician, the Artist, and the Priest. The Technician succumbs to his seductions and constructs a spaceship meant to harness the power of the sun; the Priest begins to work on a new cult to synthesize bread from stone, while the Artist is to celebrate the Regent's work and eternal "peace." However, the Artist experiences a ritual initiation in the dungeon through the suffering of the body, uniting the microcosm and the macrocosm, pronounces the occult I ch bin and sees through the essence of the tyrant! Science + Religion + Art (Anthroposophy) depart as brothers. They are protagonists of the anthroposophical conviction that a spiritual life – and art can be set up as the only salvation and counterweight to the destructive, life-threatening forces of machine beings (Machinenwesens).
The anthroposophical Gesamtkunstwerk reached its peak in Ullmann's “Bühnenweihefestspiel” alongside the Prague Jewish-German musical creation of the first half of the 20th century. The first performance (in the original wording) 2014 directed by Jan Antonín Pitínský, set design by Tomáš Rusín

Jan Klusák and Libor Pešek
(start - 7:30 PM)
cultural base – Interview of actors from the 60s, the era, and worlds of thought
Jan Klusák (1934) studied composition at the Prague HAMU under J Řídký and P Bořkovec. A composer of operas, orchestral works, and extensive chamber music, author of music for nearly a hundred films, he worked, among others, at the Theatre of Jára Cimrman, and also acted in the films of the Czechoslovak New Wave, particularly those of J Němec and V Chytilová. He was one of the first in our country (bravely) to react to the poetics-methodology of so-called New Music, dodecaphony, serialism, Darmstadt, and the Międzynarodowego Festiwalu Muzyki Współczesnej “Warsaw Autumn” and other attitudes and procedures that were then unacceptable to the ideology and prevented by normalization. After the Velvet Revolution, he continues to create and is publicly active, receiving a medal from the president. Among the first in our country, he reacted to the poetics of so-called New Music.
Libor Pešek (1933) played the trombone in his Jazz Orchestra during his high school years. He studied conducting under Ančerl, Smetáček, and Neumann at HAMU in Prague. In 1958, he founded the Chamber Harmony, and from 1965 to 1969 he founded and directed the chamber ensemble Sebastian, premiering works by young contemporary Czech composers. He also performed successfully abroad, guesting with various orchestras.
His decade-long tenure (1987-1997) as artistic director and chief conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra was significant. He now regularly works with leading Czech orchestras and performs abroad. In 1996, during a visit by British Queen Elizabeth II, he received the Order of the British Empire and later also a medal from President Václav Havel.
