Living with Janáček? Šárka Zahrádková in the New Episode

Festival backstage insights, a fateful connection with the Maestro’s legacy, and a glimpse into an intense professional and personal life. The 4th episode of our festival podcast is out now, featuring a guest without whom the Janáček tradition in Brno would simply not be complete – Šárka Zahrádková.

Leoš Janáček’s legacy is not just history; it is a living part of Brno’s identity that needs to be nurtured daily. And Šárka Zahrádková is exactly the person who pours an immense amount of energy into this mission. She stood at the very birth of our festival, and today, she remains deeply dedicated to Janáček-related projects through her work for TIC BRNO.

What is it like when both your personal and professional lives revolve almost continuously around one of the greatest musical geniuses of the 20th century? What does it take to keep Janáček’s legacy vibrant and appealing to both local and international audiences?

Don’t miss this exceptionally open and inspiring conversation. We hope you enjoy listening!
