Ivo Kahánek live in Brno

Experience Ivo Kahánek live on October 25th

Ivo Kahánek will perform at the Mahen Theatre in Brno, Czechia on October 25, 2026. Kahánek is a Czech pianist known for his interpretations of both classical repertoire and works by contemporary composers, particularly those influenced by jazz and minimalism. His style often features a lyrical approach combined with rhythmic precision and a willingness to explore unconventional sonic textures within established forms. He frequently commissions new pieces and collaborates with artists across genres.

The Mahen Theatre (Divadlo Mahen) is a historically significant venue in Brno. Opened in 1882 as the *Deutsches Landestheater*, it was originally designed by architect Karel Nietsche, with later modifications by Jan Pokorný. The theatre’s architecture reflects Neo-Renaissance and Baroque Revival styles. It underwent substantial reconstruction in the 1960s following damage sustained during World War II, which altered some of its original interior ornamentation but preserved its overall grandeur.

Today, the Mahen Theatre functions as a multi-disciplinary performing arts space, hosting opera, ballet, drama, and concerts.
