A journey through five centuries of guitar, Petra Polackova brings a program of rare elegance to the Boccherini Conservatory Auditorium, spanning time without ever losing sight of its beauty: from the Renaissance polyphonies of Narváez and Dowland, to the architectural works of Bach, to the lyricism of Torroba and the contemporary voice of Collins.
A recital that explores the classical guitar's deepest history.

Over the years, Petra Poláčková has dedicated herself to the romantic guitar and its specialized repertoire. In recent years, her focus has shifted to early music, leading her to study the viola da gamba with Christoph Urbanetz and the lute with Prof. David Bergmüller.

Her artistic career has taken her to concerts, masterclasses, juries, and conferences at renowned festivals and guitar events around the world, including in the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Italy, France, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Hungary, Kosovo, Montenegro, Spain, Portugal, Great Britain, Israel, Mexico, Australia, the USA, Chile, and Switzerland.

Petra Poláčková is a guitarist of extraordinary ability, which has been demonstrated by sustained international acclaim."

"Poláčková's playing was so technically secure and musically insightful, it was unimaginable that anything she played could possibly be difficult."
