It was an extraordinary musical experience for all lovers of Czech classical music, be it Czech compatriots or enthusiastic local listeners. Renata Ardaševová - Lichnovská a Igor Ardašev proved they are top performers of the piano-four-hands version of Smetana’s master piece. The concert of Duo Ardašev was in deed a most fitting tribute to the work of one of the giants of Czech music, whose 200th birthday is being marked by a year-long project Smetana 200, an integral part of the Year of Czech Music 2024. The event also celebrated a decades-long partnership of Leeds and Brno. It could not have been made possible without their support.
