Tomáš Kačo – Christmas Recital

LINE OF COURAGE
Tomáš Kačo has chosen his all-time favorite songs—melodies that left a lasting impression on him and whose charm, he believes, is everlasting.

For his Christmas recital at Artium, Tomáš Kačo selected his favorite songs—melodies that have stayed with him over the years and whose magic, he believes, is timeless. With his unique interpretation, he performed traditional Czech and international carols such as Pásli ovce valaši and Chtíc, aby spal. He also paid tribute to the artists whose songs shaped his childhood, presenting original variations on classics like Černé oči and Tulácké ráno. The program also included his own composition Nocturno from the cycle Stronger Than Yesterday.

Tomáš lives by the credo of contributing to a better world. This dedication is reflected in his support of the next generation of musicians—he is one of the expert mentors nurturing young talent through the Karel Komárek Family Foundation. Opening the evening was 17-year-old Vladimír Slavíček from Hradec Králové, a KKFF scholarship recipient. In addition to studying piano, Vladimír also explores electronic music, arranging, and original composition.

Praised by many music critics as one of the most talented artists of his generation, Tomáš devotes himself to solo work and builds his recitals around improvisation. His distinctive style blends classical music, jazz, and traditional Roma influences. He also composes and arranges music for choirs and orchestras, and creates film scores. Always open to creative challenges, Tomáš enjoys crafting programs based on themes proposed by presenters. He is often recognized for his ability to bring a fresh perspective to familiar topics and is frequently referred to as “The Opener.
