Struny Podzimu, one of Prague’s premier music festivals, is hosting Michael York and pianist Libor Nováček as part of their 2009 season. The music will be Enoch Arden, a melodrama for reciter and piano by Richard Strauss and a piano sonata by Leoš Janáček (On an Overgrown Path, Piano Sonata 1.X. 1905 in E flat minor ‘From the Street’).

Four artists who buck the tide of European tradition.

An undercurrent typically flows in the opposite direction of surface currents, so the selection of two Czech and two German artists by Petr Nedoma for Galerie Rudolfinum's show "Undercurrent" can be seen as an attempt to showcase work that in some way goes against the grain of tradition, and the mainstream of contemporary art. It also hints at the pull these counter-tides might have on prevailing contemporary currents, given the right conditions.
