Andrea has joined forces with <i>The Song Company<\/i> to create a program that combines Jan\u00e1\u010dek, the touchstone of all Czech music, and Australia\u2019s Martin Wesley-Smith. The concert is rounded off with songs by the inimitable Iva Bittov\u00e1, and a number of songs by Andrea Keller herself, composed while visiting Prague during 2002.<\/p>\n<p>Since its formation in 1984, <i>The Song Company<\/i> has provided audiences with performances of vocal chamber music outstanding in style and breadth. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Roland Peelman, the six-voice ensemble has developed its style by successfully integrating scholarship, an unrivalled sound and innovative partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>Andrea Keller was raised by Czech parents in Australia. Her composition work often takes its starting point from a classical source, more often than not triggered by a family story.<\/p>\n<p>The program:\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"productdetaildescription\">\n<p>Leo\u0161 Jan\u00e1\u010dek (1854-1928):\u00a0<em>Folksong settings\u00a0and nursery rhymes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Iva Bittov\u00e1 (b 1958):<em>\u00a0Songs<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Martin Wesley-Smith (b. 1945):\u00a0<em>Selection of songs<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Andrea Keller:\u00a0<em>New songs from Prague<\/em><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.songcompany.com.au\/buy\/\">Click here for tickets.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cobbled squares, Prague Castle, the Vltava river and pilsner moustaches &#8211;
