Explore the photo gallery from the concert of young Czech pianists at the Bohemian National Hall. The concert was part of a project celebrating emerging stars of Czech classical music. A key partner in the initiative was the prestigious Mannes School of Music, which hosted masterclasses for the young musicians on its campus. Six exceptionally talented Czech pianists — Vivi Nguyen (11), Magdaléna Kovářová (13), Valentýna Ibriqi (13), Nora Lubbadová (16), and Adam Znamirovský (16) — worked under the guidance of acclaimed pianist and educator Pavlina Dokovska alongside their American peers. Together, they performed at the legendary Steinway Hall on February 20. The project culminated in a final concert by the young performers at the Bohemian National Hall on February 23. Organized in partnership with Czech Center New York, Mannes School of Music, Carnegie Hall, and the Komárek Family Foundation as part of the Piana do škol initiative.
