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.

The festival is the only one in the Czech Republic to systematically introduce the best of classical music from the V4 countries, including the launching of young stars of classical music. Three events were held in the year 2018/2019 to celebrate the chairmanship of the Czech Republic in the Visegrad group. This is a sequel after the pandemic interplay. The first Czech female virtuoso, violinist Jitka Hosprova, and the young and extraordinarily talented Polish violinist Maria Machowska will give a performance in the main roles for the gems of Polish and Hungarian music. Szymanowski’s Concerto No. 2 is an imposing post-Romantic composition. Bartok’s Concerto for viola, the composer’s last Neo-Classical work, is exceptional. The phenomenal Slovak modernist composer Vladimir Godar reflects on Bartok. The programme is complemented with symphonic poems which draw on the culture and history of both nations: Sinfonietta rustica by the Slovak composer Eugen Suchon, the renowned symphonic poem by Bedrich Smetana, Wallenstein’s Camp, inspired by the heroism of the greatest Czech Modern Age generalissimo, Albrecht Vaclav Eusebius of Wallenstein.

The magic of national tones and the treasury of folk melodics, all of this is folklore music. By singing it, creating it and writing it, people for centuries relieved the burden of their fates. It was often used to liberate them from fear or death, or just as a pastime. It became a source of inspiration for national epics: The Old Polish Music by N. Gorecky,Pictures from Hungaria by Bartok, the Balladic Suite by E. Suchon, the beautiful songs from the Czech and Moravian Highlands by B. Martinu, or even Beauty by Ivan Kurz. And having Wojciech Rodek conducting his philharmonic orchestra from Lublin? That’s synchronicity and symbiosis, enhanced with the collaboration with Dita Rohmann. Dvorak’s compositions for violoncello will be presented with the Slovak opera star Lucia Duchonova. Music of the Central European Region – V4 Countries also presents important authors of the 20th century and contemporary composers from these four countries.
