Music predating the Baroque period is rarely heard at the Rudolfinum, so a programme of works by Kryštof Harant is a special event, especially because he is seen as the most important Czech musician of the Renaissance. The acclaimed ensemble Cappella Mariana will present historically informed interpretations of his works, and actor Saša Rašilov will read excerpts from Harant’s famous travel diaries.
