Jan Čižmář & Marta Kratochvílová

Posted 20. September 2009 - 15:47

Jan Čižmář is working with flutist Marta Kratochvílová extensively since 2008. The combination of historical transverse flutes with lute- and guitar-like instruments makes it possible to perform a wide range of styles from the medieval times until romantic era and thus introduce concertgoers to famous hits as well as lesser known masterpieces of renaissance and baroque.
