Project V4 4V (four violoncellists from four countries of Visegrad) represents the contemporary music of the Visegrad region and also the art of the most distinguished cellists of the same generation from the middle of Europe.
This year there is 15th anniversary of the cultural co-operation of four countries of the geografical group in the middle of Europe called Visegrad. Visegrad group counts Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia . These four countries are not only most close neighbours, but they are united by common history, as well distant as recent. For that reason they had been interconnected ever before and they inspire and influence each other from past times to these days.
Concerts of the project V4 4V are composed from two parts. During the first one each artist presents in solo a contemporary national music of its country. In the second part the artists play as quartet and usually something from the up-to-date repertoire of the contemporary national music of that country in which they currently perform.
CD V4 4V is life recording from the concert which took place in Prague, therefore in the second part of the concert the cello quartet play a piece of the contemporery czech composer.
In any case project V4 4V is focused on the contemporary music. (Exception was only 2005 year as it was also the Year of Johann Sebastian Bach. That´s why in the very end of the concert the artists played the most famous Bach´s Suites to pay hommage.)
Project V4 4V in his second part is open to each country. In Portugal, for example, the quartet can study something from the up-to-date repertoire of the contemporary portugal national music for cellos.
