The Karel Halíř's Society organizes every year the Karel Halíř Festival to promote the figure of Karel Halíř (1859-1909), a czech violinist so unfairly forgotten.

Artists like Ivan Zenaty, Ulrika Stromstedt, Stanislav Bogunia Joan Pages, Natasha Korsakova,Adam Skoumal, Jiri Vodicka,Martin Kasik, Cuarteto Casals, Emile Cantor, Thomas Albertus Irnberger and Pavel Kaspar have taken part in the festival.

VI. Festival Halíř

This year in september Kai Gleusteen and Catherine Ordronneau will be the guest artists.

Concerts in Halíř's hometown, Vrchlabi, where the river Elbe borns, and in Prague.

The concertmeister of the Liceu in Barcelona Kai Gleusteen from Canada and his wife the french pianist Catherine Ordronneau will be playing 3 violin sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven,that Karel Halíř published in Berlin in 1905.

Karel Halíř premiered the Sibelius violin concerto on the 19th of october of 1905 in Berlin, under the baton of Richard Strauss. In this concert Halíř played his Strad Halíř 1694, which is in California nowadays.

In California there is the Red Strad 1720, the violin that inspired the famous film "The red violin", and was played by Halíř in his american tour in 1896/97 (New York Times).

What do we need your help for

Society Karel Halíř was founded to present to the public the virtuos Karel Halíř. Both concerts of the festival will be free for everybody, and this is why we need to finance the festival by our selves.

Festival Karel Halíř costs this year 6000€. To the date we have 3050€ thanks to:

Council of Vrchlabi: 2000€

Radek Nejezchleba: 500€

Francesc Argiles: 300€

Mechthild Schreiber: 250€

We still need 3.195€ that we hope to get from Verkami.

For more info

Everything began when we discovered the virtuous of the violin Karel Halir in August 2010 in Vrchlabi ( Czech Republic).

In this city my wife Stepanka was born and she also grew up there. We think that Halir deserves a festival where musicians of his artistic level perform.
