Concert against totalism
Wednesday 17th November 2021, 7 p.m.
Martinů Hall, Liechtenstein Palace, Prague, CZ
The Concert against Totalitarianism project was conceived at HAMU (the Music and Dance Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts) in Prague in 2014 as the Faculty's contribution to the national celebration of 17th November. Originally a one-off project, mainly owing to the enthusiastic response from its visitors, it has become a regular alternative way to spend the November evening in the beautiful premises of the Martinu Hall and accompanied by good music.
The project is intended not just to celebrate the Velvet Revolution but also to commemorate International Students' Day, which began to be celebrated after the tragic events of 17 November 1939.
