About event
Štěpánka Balcarová & Małgorzata Hutek Quartet at the Jazz dock.
The new Czech-Polish quartet of trumpeter and composer Štěpánka Balcarová follows on from previous successful projects inspired by Polish poetry, especially the albums Life and Happiness of Julian Tuwim (2017) and the orchestral Štěstí (2022), awarded with the Angel Prize in jazz category. The current project Zuzanna brings to music the poems of the Polish Jewish poet Zuzanna Ginczanka (1917–1944), whose poetry is characterized by extraordinary sensitivity, irony and reflection of the times. In addition to Štěpánka Balcarová and the award-winning Polish singer Małgorzata Hutek, the quartet also consists of double bassist Jaromír Honzák and guitarist David Dorůžka – important personalities of the Czech jazz scene, who also often collaborate with Polish musicians in their own musical projects.
Małgorzata Hutek - vocals; Štěpánka Balcarová - trumpet; David Dorůžka - guitar; Jaromír Honzák - double bass.
