Czech Philharmonic’s Artist-in-Residence, Evgeny Kissin, will also appear at the Rudolfinum’s Suk Hall as a soloist. The world-renowned piano virtuoso will perform a selection of Chopin’s intimate Mazurkas, alongside Schumann’s richly layered Kreisleriana—a cycle dedicated to Chopin himself. Adding a distinctive touch to the programme is a sonata by 20th-century Russian composer Nikolai Myaskovsky.

Nikolai Myaskovsky (1881-1950) was the oldest student in class when he started conducting in St. Petersburg in 1906. He got a friend for life in the youngest student, Sergei Prokofiev, who later traveled to the West and strongly contributed to Myaskovsky becoming one of the most famous soviet composers during the Interwar Period.
