Philosophical concert: MATYÁŠ NOVÁK
Pianist Matyáš Novák is one of the most promising pianists of his generation thanks to his extraordinary harmonic sense, wide repertoire and excellent playing technique. At the age of ten he performed with an orchestra for the first time, at the age of nineteen he made his debut at Carnegie Hall, and at the age of twenty he gave a solo recital at the Prague Spring festival.
