The concert will feature the young Austrian ensemble Accio Piano Trio, which will be visiting Prague for the first time in its career. The ensemble is based in Salzburg, where its members studied at the Sándor Végh Institute of the Salzburg Mozarteum and at the HMDK in Stuttgart. It is supported by the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation “Live music now” and is a winner of music awards from the Gdańsk, Portschach and Stuttgart competitions. In Prague, it will perform little-known works – Fragments for piano trio by W.A. Mozart and Piano Trio No. 2 by Cécile Chaminade. In the second half of the evening, Schubert’s Piano Trio No. 2 will be performed.

The concert *Spark of Divine Genius* will present a historically informed performance of sacred works by Franz Schubert—a composer who stands at the crossroads of Classical and Romantic music. Today, his sacred works are considered among his finest. The highlight of the program will undoubtedly be the Mass in E-flat major, Schubert’s last and most extensive work in this genre.
Musica Florea will perform with the Collegium 419 choir, whose founder says of the concert: “…I wanted to create a program so that the concert would not merely be a return to the tried-and-true works of Bach or Zelenka, but would express that music is a journey that never stops.”

The renowned Jewish Chamber Orchestra Munich, under the direction of Daniel Grossmann, brings to Prague the unique singspiel Mendele Lohengrin. Inspired by an 1898 short story, the work revives a long-lost world while posing questions that remain deeply relevant today.

The Story of the Evening

Mendele is a young klezmer musician from a small village who fulfills his lifelong dream—to visit imperial Vienna. There, he hears Wagner’s Lohengrin for the first time, an experience that changes his life forever. Captivated by this new music, he refuses to play anything else and earns the mocking nickname “Mendele Lohengrin” back home.

His passion, however, collides with a brutal truth: Richard Wagner, whose music Mendele adores, harbored deep hatred toward Jews. The moment the young man reads Wagner’s antisemitic writings, he destroys his instrument, and music in his village falls silent forever. This deeply moving story of the clash between klezmer tradition and European modernism leads you through emotions ranging from exhilaration to chilling silence.

Programme:

• Evgeni Orkin: Mendele Lohengrin (a singspiel based on a short story by Heinrich York-Steiner)
• Performers: Jewish Chamber Orchestra Munich, Daniel Grossmann (conductor), Ethel Merhaut (vocals), Jan Sklenář (narration/acting)

About the Performers

• Jewish Chamber Orchestra Munich (JCOM): An ensemble that defines itself as “the Jewish voice of the present.” Under the baton of Daniel Grossmann, it seeks unconventional paths to tradition and brings music back to places deeply connected with Jewish history. JCOM is an internationally acclaimed orchestra that has performed from Israel to North America.
• Ethel Merhaut (vocals): An Austrian singer and actress specializing in the repertoire of the first half of the 20th century. Her expression blends elements of jazz, swing, chanson, and cabaret. As an interpreter of Yiddish songs, she brings authenticity and theatrical intensity to the performance.
