Musical Stories of Latin America

The concert program Musical Stories of Latin America takes you on a musical journey through the vibrant rhythms and lyrical melodies of the South American continent. Singer Barbora de Nunes-Cambraia and guitarist Michal Svoboda present a colorful repertoire ranging from well-known composers such as Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887–1959), Astor Piazzolla (1921–1992), and Chiquinha Gonzaga (1847–1935), to lesser-known artists whose work reflects the beauty and passion of this diverse culture. Together, they guide you through landscapes of emotion, stories, and musical traditions with unforgettable arrangements for voice and guitar.

la búsqueda / The Search

Every artist strives to explore and preserve tradition in their work, while also seeking new creative horizons. This is exactly what characterizes this concert program, featuring compositions mainly by Spanish and South American composers who loved to return to the musical roots of their nations, while also engaging in the creation of new modern music. The concert includes works by “searching” composers such as Manuel de Falla (1876–1946), Isaac Albéniz (1860–1909), Joaquín Rodrigo (1901–1999), and others. The program can be performed as a solo recital or as a duo with singer Radka Rubešová or Barbora de Nunes-Cambraia.
