Chanson

In this form of the project, singer Lenka Audolenská collaborates with pianist Sára Bukovská, who, with her versatility and masterful technique, enriches the interpretations with a unique piano playing. This chamber format focuses on creating an intimate and authentic atmosphere, which is ideal for listeners who want to enjoy French and Czech chansons in their purest form.

Sára Bukovská is a pianist, composer and music director who has become famous not only in the Czech Republic but also abroad. She studied piano at the Pilsen Conservatory and subsequently completed a modern composition seminar in Paris. Her artistic career includes successes on several foreign tours in Japan and Europe. In the Czech Republic, she collaborates with musical theaters, orchestras and record companies. Thanks to her versatility and ability to work with various musical genres, Sára is a sought-after concert artist, ranging from opera to jazz and chanson. She has collaborated with prominent figures such as Lucie Bílá, Václav Noid Bárta or violinist Gabriela Demeterová.

In this wider version, the duo is joined by Alena Šístková, an excellent cellist who brings another dimension to the project with her technically perfect and emotional playing.

Alena Šístková combines classical music with various genres, including chanson, popular music and alternative. She graduated from the Prague Conservatory and the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, and was the head of the cello section of the Czech Philharmonic Student Orchestra, where she still performs.
