duo CONCERTTONE
Violinist Radek Trupl and pianist Kateřina Konopová form the chamber duo Concerttone, meeting in a musical dialogue where the tone serves as the storyteller and the messenger of emotion. Their refined sound, natural interplay, and sensitivity to expressive nuances create interpretations that embrace both music and silence, engaging listeners with authentic immediacy.
The duo focuses on chamber repertoire from the 18th to the 21st centuries, with a particular affinity for the Romantic era. They offer tailor-made programming—ranging from intimate chamber evenings and New Year’s or benefit galas to educational and thematic concert series. Their performances blend elegance with spontaneity, seamlessly connecting classical masterpieces with film scores, tango, and Spanish rhythms to offer a vibrant and diverse musical experience.
