<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n  <strong>Liszt in the Cathedral <\/strong> turns its focus to the sacred music of Franz Liszt and to one of the deepest dimensions of his artistic legacy. The festival&#8217;s closing concert returns to St. Martin&#8217;s Cathedral, the former coronation church of the Kingdom of Hungary and one of Bratislava&#8217;s most significant historic landmarks, a place with which Liszt himself was closely associated. His works were performed here on numerous occasions, and in 1884 he personally conducted his <em>Hungarian Coronation Mass<\/em> in this very cathedral.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n  Within this remarkable setting, compositions for organ and male voices reveal the intersection of personal faith, liturgical tradition, and Romantic expressiveness, reflecting Liszt&#8217;s unique search for a profound spiritual musical language. The programme progresses from the intimate sacred works <em>Ave Maria<\/em>, <em>Pater Noster<\/em>, and the psalm <em>De profundis<\/em> to the monumental <em>Requiem<\/em>, bringing the inaugural edition of the festival to a powerful conclusion.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"detail-program\">\r\n\r\n<h2>Programme<\/h2>\r\n<ul> <li>Franz Liszt: <em>Ave Maria<\/em> for Organ<\/li> <li>Franz Liszt: <em>Pater noster<\/em> for Male Choir and Organ<\/li> <li>Franz Liszt: Psalm 129 <em>\u201cDe profundis\u201d<\/em> for Baritone, Male Choir and Organ<\/li> <li>Franz Liszt: <em>Requiem<\/em><\/li> <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n  <div id=\"detail-performer\">\r\n<h2 class=\"perfomer\">Performers<\/h2>\r\n<h3>Adam Sedlick\u00fd<\/h3>\r\n\r\n    <p>Slovak conductor Adam Sedlick\u00fd (1991), winner of the 3rd Prize at the Zoraqi Conducting Competition in Albania (2025), graduated in piano performance (D. \u0160v\u00e1rna) and conducting (\u0160.

He is currently in his 30th season as a member of the bass section of the Slovak Philharmonic Choir and has contributed lyrics to dozens of musical projects for Robo Opatovsk\u00fd, Martina Schindlerov\u00e1, Anita Soul and many others.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n    <b>How it all began:<\/b><br>\r\n    I do not know whether I ever thought about what I wanted to become as a child, but from an early age I was very talkative and naturally drawn to music. For a while, I also flirted with acting and attended an audition for a children\u2019s theatre \u2013 and it turned into one big embarrassment.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    I was the last one to be called. By then, I had neither the energy nor the courage left, and when they told me what I was supposed to do, it seemed extremely uninteresting. I performed the exercise very quickly, but everyone encouraged me to continue and to laugh. At that moment, however, I found nothing funny except the man who was showing me how I should laugh. He had no teeth.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    I did not succeed there in the end, but I joined a children\u2019s radio choir, where one day I was noticed by Mr B\u00e1zlik and Mr Ob\u017eera. At the time, they were recording the fairy tale <b>Three Times Three Is Nine<\/b>, in which I sang the role of a boy who could not do multiplication.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    Those were my beginnings. Later, I became a member of the Slovak Philharmonic Boys\u2019 Choir under the direction of Magdal\u00e9na Rov\u0148\u00e1kov\u00e1. It did not last very long because my voice began to change quite early. I later returned as a substitute bass singer and also as a vocal coach.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n    <b>My story:<\/b><br>\r\n    Music has accompanied me since early childhood. I was strongly supported in this respect by both my parents and grandparents, even though they were not directly involved in music. The exception was my maternal grandfather, who was an architect but also had a band and played the violin. I therefore assume that a ray of musical sunlight came from that branch of the family.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    After primary school, the conservatory was the obvious choice for me. I began studying with Professor Malachovsk\u00fd and later continued with Marta Be\u0148a\u010dkov\u00e1 and Miloslava Sopirov\u00e1, a recipient of the Thalia Award for her lifetime contribution to opera.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n    <b>The years of professional development:<\/b><br>\r\n    After graduating from the conservatory, I was not accepted to the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava. I did, however, join the Vienna Chamber Opera as a second tenor, which is not actually my voice type.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    Eventually, I found my place as a first bass in the Slovak Philharmonic Choir, where I am now in my 30th season. It has been a wonderful time. In addition, I am involved in various other projects connected with music.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n    <b>My greatest achievement:<\/b><br>\r\n    The cantata <b>Under My Spell<\/b> holds a special place in my life. It was written for solo soprano, performed by Adriana Ku\u010derov\u00e1, symphony orchestra and women\u2019s choir. The music was composed by Oskar R\u00f3zsa, while Matej Drli\u010dka managed the entire project.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    Recording it with the full orchestra in the studio in 2009 was an extraordinary experience. It was fascinating to observe all the people involved in bringing the project to life.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    <b>Under My Spell<\/b> later became the opening concert of Viva Musica! and was subsequently performed in Prague, Budapest and Vienna. I believe that if anything remains after me, it will be this work.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    Paradoxically, the music Oskar and I created together is heard by the greatest number of people at Slovan Bratislava\u2019s stadium, for which we created a club anthem by transforming the traditional song <b>Na Kr\u00e1\u013eovej holi<\/b> into <b>Na Tehelnom poli<\/b>.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n    <b>Writing lyrics:<\/b><br>\r\n    The process of writing lyrics varies. I need the right moment when I can sit down, begin singing to myself and gradually allow the words to emerge.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    Sometimes the lyrics are created independently. This is often the case in my collaboration with \u013dubica \u010cekovsk\u00e1, who has the gift of hearing a melody in particular verses, phrases or words, and the music is then created on the basis of the text.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    It also works the other way around, when I already know the music, or sometimes only its harmony or general character, and create the lyrics to fit it. The most difficult part is always finding a subject that is not completely banal \u2013 although an apparent banality can often develop into something interesting and gain meaning when combined with the depth of the music.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    I have always been fascinated by the interplay between words, ideas and a particular piece of music.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n    <b>My inspiration:<\/b><br>\r\n    Music itself is often my inspiration \u2013 sometimes even music that is entirely different from the piece for which I am writing lyrics.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    I like to reflect on what appeals to me: a particular harmony, melody, curve of the vocal line or rhythmic transition.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    When someone\u2019s work does not speak to me, however, I avoid criticising it. We all have our own unique perspective, and everyone is drawn to something different. That is exactly how it should be.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n    <b>What music means to me:<\/b><br>\r\n    Music is something transcendental and magical, to put it somewhat grandly. It is something we cannot truly grasp, yet we can capture both the effort behind it and the final result.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    It affects our soul, heart and consciousness. It can evoke countless emotions and accompany us during both ordinary and extraordinary moments. It is always present somewhere.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    To me, it is as though an entity walks beside me, inseparably connected with my life. Music, love and laughter are three powerful elements of life that every person should cultivate.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    Being part of a classical music concert is a profound experience from many different perspectives. The people sitting in the audience experience what they hear.\r\n    <br><br>\r\n    But when I am inside the entire musical apparatus as a performer, it feels as though I am standing within a living organism, directly beside its beating heart.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>D\u00e1vid Harant<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>D\u00e1vid Harant graduated from the Conservatory in \u017dilina and the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava.
