Czech violinist David Danel is a prominent performer on the domestic contemporary music scene. He is the founder and artistic director of the string quartet fama Q, with which he systematically dedicates himself to the presentation of modern and postmodern literature and to connecting the domestic scene with international trends. As a soloist, he has performed with orchestras such as the Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava, Capella Istropolitana, the Slovak Chamber Orchestra, and the Talich Chamber Orchestra, and has performed at the summer festival in Dartington, UK, among others. A significant part of his activities consists of recording work for Czech Radio, focusing on chamber repertoire and premiere recordings of compositions by living authors. For his festival block during the second evening, which deliberately accentuates the local interpretive background, he invited Hungarian violinist and composer Péter Tornyai to collaborate, and he will play the final piece as a member of the Fama Q string quartet, of which he is the artistic director.

The chamber-oriented evening will open with a selection from the probable series by Iranian-American composer Ramin Akhavijou. Subsequently, the musicians will perform the extensive work „Hay que caminar“ soñando by Luigi Nono, a classic of the Italian post-war avant-garde, and the performance will conclude with the string quartet ...qui transitis per viam… by Ivan Fedele, which reflects the musical legacy of the Renaissance master Gesualdo da Venosa.
