Concert in Obecni Dum

The Day of the Nine Gates / devet bran-festival


Merta / Lewitowa

Strauss Warschauer Duo
While in Germany the debate regarding the "predominating culture" (Leitkultur) is heating up and the Christian "Abendlandpartei" mottos of people and nation are spread, Prague mayor Jan Kasl expresses his yearning for a cosmopolitan and multicultural city.

The "devet bran-festival" could be a step in this direction. The Jewish culture has a long tradition in Prague, which however was almost extinguished during the Shoah and the communist period. The gala concert in the House of Representatives (Obecni Dum) was an impressive demonstration of that which once was and could be again.

On this special evening twelve groups gave guest appearances during the course of the Prague Festival, through which there was a piquant mixture of all sorts of Jewish music. From sephardic songs by Jana Lewitowa (accompanied by Vladimir Merta), to happy Klezmer music of "Naye Kapelye aus Ungarn" to the virtuoso performance of the Strauss Warsaw Duos. Some surpassed themselves, like the Krakow group "Kroke", who became enthusiastic with a spontaneous drum improvisation on the back of a contrabass.

This could not be the last of the wonderful atmosphere of the concert hall. The House of Representatives built, between 1905 and 1912 on the site where until this date the royal palace had stood, is a gem of art nouveau style. The Smetanasaal, in which the classical concerts and balls take place, is richly painted with ceiling frescos painted by turn of the century Czech artists. In the mayor’s room, which was fashioned by Alfons Mucha, a reception subsequently took place.

Along with the Prague mayor and the Austrian ambassador the mayor of the partner city, Jerusalem, Ehud Olmert, gave his greetings to the visitors of the festival. Olmert was also very impressed by the demonstrated wide variety of Jewish music.

The evening ended with a combined appearance of all the artists and finally with the melody from Schindler’s List, played by Pavel Sporcl, the most expressive musician of the present Czech violinists.
