The chamber ensemble Prague Modern was founded in 2008 on the initiative of French conductor Michel Swierczewski at the then Prague Philharmonia and has been operating as an independent association under the artistic direction of David Danel since 2009. The ensemble, which is often described by music critics as "the best Czech ensemble for new music," consists of top domestic instrumentalists. The group focuses on solo recitals, chamber projects, and compositions for smaller orchestras. They have performed on prestigious domestic and foreign stages (e.g., Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin, Musica Strasbourg, Prague Spring, Café Budapest, Cluj Modern). A significant milestone was the recording of works by Dai Fujikura under the direction of conductor Pascal Gallois for the Stradivarius label (2014), which won the "Coup de coeur" award from the French Charles Cros Academy. The repertoire of Prague Modern includes key works of the world avant-garde as well as the output of contemporary Czech authors (e.g., M. Adámek, J. Rataj, M. Srnka), which the ensemble actively exports abroad, often as part of multimedia projects or seminars on contemporary interpretive practice.
The ensemble will present a wide spectrum of contemporary compositional approaches. The program features a triptych of compositions by British composer Hannah Kendall, followed by the music of Iranian author Anahita Abbasi, Lebanese creator Elia Koussa, and Czech composer Šimon Voseček. During the evening, there will also be a return to the work of Ramin Akhavijou. The concert will culminate in the world premiere of Ravi Kittappa's composition „Mezi námi zůstává“ for percussion, piano, and strings, commissioned by the festival.
