Two concerts called 'Songs by Zdeněk Trnka & Poems by Jaroslav Seifert' with Gabriela Jelínková and The Kühn Choir of Prague
Community Centre UFFO, Trutnov, The Czech Republic 

 

Concerts with the music by Zdeněk Trnka in the Czech Republic. The music composed for the poems of Czech writer, Nobel Prize Laureate for Literature, Jaroslav Seifert, whom he knew personally, made the teaching at schools more interesting. The concerts showed that the master’s generation can have a friendly relationship with the young people, as was proven by the friendship of Jaroslav Seifert and a generation-younger Zdeněk Trnka, then a student. Songs by Zdeněk Trnka for the poems of Jaroslav Seifert were played at the concerts for elementary school, high school and wide public in Trutnov. 

 

This untraditional connection of poems and songs will surely become known internationally.
