The concert, part of the ”Silberbauer’s Musical Thaya Region” festival, will feature the Prague wind trio "Trifogli" along with the organist from the Basilica of St. Peter and Paul at Vyšehrad.

The concert is held as part of the Czech-Austrian international music festival ”Silberbauer’s Musical Thaya Region”, which takes its name from the Znojmo Baroque organ builder who was active in the Thaya/Thayatal region and contributes to the rediscovery of his name by the wider public in both South Moravia and Lower Austria.

Trifoglio or "Cloverleaf" was founded at the Faculty of Music of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. The ensemble received its first award at the ISA-Internationale Sommerakademie Prag-Wien-Budapest courses in Payerbach in August 2013, which was the 1st prize for the performance of K. Slavický’s composition in the 20th-century compositions competition for chamber wind ensembles. In the same year, the trio followed up with success in Vidnava, where they received 1st prize, the laureate title, and the overall winner of the entire competition at the Karel Ditters von Dittersdorf competition. The ensemble also achieved 3rd prize at the international chamber ensemble competition in Chieri, Italy. Currently, Trifoglio collaborates with bassoonist Jan Hudeček, who is one of the most sought-after performers of the young generation.
