Arthur Honegger's poignant oratorio "Joan of Arc at the Stake" movingly portrays the final hours of the French national heroine. Condemned as a heretic, the young woman remains steadfast to the very end – a symbol of civil courage, faith, and inner strength.

This connection is notably embodied by the Orchestre Tremplin, which allows young musicians from the CRR to share the podium with the Orchestra's professionals. Each season, this partnership is also enriched by concerts given by the Orchestra's musicians in the Conservatoire Auditorium. These events offer a special moment of closeness with the public and fully participate in the musical life of the city, in a spirit of transmission, influence, and openness.

Even "birdsong and an orange sunrise" can be found in his "Siegfried Idyll," explained Richard Wagner. The work for chamber orchestra was a birthday surprise for his wife Cosima and was first performed in 1870 in the stairwell of their home in Tribschen near Lucerne. The title alludes to their son Siegfried, but Wagner primarily quotes from the musical drama of the same name in his four-part opera "The Ring of the Nibelung."

Like Martinů, both Arthur Honegger and Aaron Copland achieved prominence in Paris between the wars, and all three subsequently taught under Serge Koussevitzky’s auspices at Tanglewood. This program juxtaposes Honegger’s sparkling Concerto da camera and Copland’s introspective Sextet with four of Martinů’s own compositions: the witty ballet La revue de cuisine, which casts its dancers as kitchen utensils and uses the Charleston, tango, foxtrot, and Dixieland jazz to satirical effect; the dazzling Harpsichord Concerto, a work first premiered by Kaprálová; the freely contrapuntal Tre ricercari, which draws on 18th-century models; and the First Piano Sonata, a late work characterized by its bold harmonies and freedom of rhythm and form.

Le Roi David is one of the masterpieces by the Swiss composer Arthur Honegger, written in 1921. It represents a significant milestone in his musical development. This oratorio is based on the biblical figure of King David from the Old Testament. Le Roi David is a notable work not only for its musical qualities but also for its ability to create an emotional and dramatic space in which the biblical story comes alive as an intense experience for the audience.

One of the most famous and enjoyable works of all time, its radiant charms shine in the hands of pianist and former MAC Music Innovator Michelle Cann.

After Robert Schumann's Manfred Overture, which has already established itself as an independent orchestral work to such an extent that its literary basis (Lord Byron) has almost been forgotten, we hear a very current premiere. The young German composer Clemens K. Thomas says of his work: "'Girls und Panzer' is not a piece about war, but about its consumability in Central Europe." It is about "politics as a balancing act full of compromises and contradictions." This is followed by Composer in Focus Matthew Hindson with "Maralinga", which also has political references: that was the name of a British nuclear test site in Australia in the 1950s. And finally, Arthur Honegger provides a conciliatory conclusion with his fourth symphony "Basler Freuden", which was written shortly after the end of the Second World War.

In the history of the Czech Philharmonic, few compositions have left as deep a mark as Honegger’s oratorio Joan of Arc at the Stake. In 1970, Ivan Medek, then the orchestra’s dramaturge, programmed the oratorio to commemorate Jan Palach’s self-immolation. This difficult but powerful work will be led by Lukáš Vasilek, Artistic Director of the Prague Philharmonic Choir.

Anyone who has an eagle for a father dreams of flying. The young Duke of Reichstadt, nicknamed "L'Aiglon" ("the young eagle"), is the only legitimate male descendant of Napoleon Bonaparte and wants to follow in his famous father's footsteps and make history himself. Encouraged by war veteran Flambeau, he wants to escape the golden cage in Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, where Austrian Chancellor Metternich is keeping him imprisoned: Napoleon's son with Marie-Louise of Austria wants to regain control of France. But the young bird's wings break when he sets foot on a battlefield for the first time in his life and hears the ghostly voices of the fallen. He begins to understand what the reality of war really means.
