Prague Quiet Music Festival 2021

The Prague Quiet Music Collective is a new ensemble for contemporary music with an emphasis on quieting, slowing down and making present. The first edition of their Prague Quiet Music Festival will introduce five premieres played by the ensemble and two guests: Fredrik Rasten on guitars and Miroslav Beinhauer playing the unique sixth-tone harmonium. Gentle compositions from around the world will be performed in the enchanting environment of the Czech Musem of Music, which will be transformed by a plant installation by Hænke, light design by Tomáš Morávek and tea by Meetea into an oasis of slowly flowing contemplative music for one December evening. Through a confluence of circumstances, weeds became the theme of the evening, connecting the plant design with the music (literally, in some cases).

New pieces by:

• Eva-Maria Houben (DE)
• Linda Catlin Smith (CA)
• James Weeks (UK)
• Fredrik Rasten (NO)
• Ian Mikyska (CZ)
