Concert: Kohaut 300

A concert marking the 300th anniversary of the birth of lutenist Karel Kohaut—one of the last virtuosos of the instrument—who is the subject of a panel exhibition at the Moravian Library scheduled for the first half of 2027.

Soloists Marta Kratochvílová and Jan Čižmář from the ensemble *Les Plaisirs de Musique* will perform works not only by this "last Viennese lutenist"—as Kohaut is often called—but also by his contemporaries, drawn from significant musical collections preserved in Moravia.

The concert program will be hosted by the exhibition’s curator, Jana Franková, Ph.D., who will also introduce the audience to the life story of this largely forgotten musician.
