Music
Chamber concerts in the Botanical Garden
Saturday, August 26 at 10:00 in Botanical Garden
This summer, chamber concerts by performers of the Slovak music scene will be held in the romantic atmosphere of the botanical garden.
It's the pair of Katarína Koščová - Daniel Špiner, who will perform this Saturday. One singer and one pianist. No big ensemble, just two performers and co-creators are complete enough to touch the audience in a deep and moving way. At Katka and Dano's concerts, you will laugh and cry, and become an integral part of an intimate statement, true friendship, lyrical experiences, and shared humour.
