| Duo Brikcius |

Duo Brikcius is a Czech chamber music ensemble created by two promising
young cellists (brother and sister), Anna Brikciusová and František
Brikcius. Both founding members are well acquainted with the solo cello
repertoire, but decided to increase their repertoire with music written
for this unusual combination (with great hidden potential) of two
cellos. The main aims of Duo Brikcius are to study and perform works
written for two cellos, enable the creation and performance of works
that are not well known to the audience, encourage contemporary
composers regardless of nationality or age), to create music for this
ensemble, maintain the tradition of established composers, present
Czech music culture abroad and bring to other people the joy of music.
Duo Brikcius has appeared in many festivals (for example Chotěbořské jaro, Boskovice, Baščaršijske noći, Duo
Brikcius - 2 Cellos
Tour,
Dvořák festival, European days of Jewish culture, Století andělů a
ďáblů v Pošumaví, Daniel Pearl Music Festival, Festival Culturel
International de Musique Symphonique, Festival Smetanovské dny,
Festival Baroko v krvi) both in the Czech republic and abroad (Algeria,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Turkey, the
United Kingdom, etc.). More details are available on the website http://www.Brikcius.com

" Života děj vane, či vleče mě sem i
tam, leč jiskra vzpomínky zůstává mi ku svitu
navzdory temnotě - - mnoho zdaru vám, Brikciusové!"
