Chamber music has a deep-rooted tradition in the Czech Republic, one that is actively nurtured through education. A key player in this is the Academy of Chamber Music, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. The occasion will be marked with a concert featuring current members, alumni, and faculty members, including a world premiere by composer Jan Ryant Dřizal.

At the closing concert of the Talich’s Beroun International Music Festival, Prague Philharmonia will appear with the distinguished soloist, Jan Fišer, concertmaster of the Czech Philharmonic, under the baton of Jiří Habart, one of the most promising young Czech conductors of today. A highlight of the evening will be the world premiere of Jiří Pelikán’s Dvě brány (Two Gates), commissioned by the festival to mark the 760th anniversary of the first written mention of the town of Beroun.

This season’s Morning Concerts series draws to a close with string performances, to which unique colours from the clarinet will be added. The Apollon Quartet and its guests perform what is probably Bruckner’s most serious chamber work: his String Quintet in F major. They will also commemorate the work of the Czech composer, music theorist, and teacher Antonín Rejcha.

Advent Concert III • Jan Fišer

Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony ‘Pathétique’ is perhaps one of the most moving works in the romantic repertoire. As the composer himself said, “I put my entire soul into this work”. Our guide through the ‘Pathétique’ Symphony will be conductor Natalie Stutzmann who makes her Czech Philharmonic debut. As part of her debut performances, she’ll also share the stage with two of the Czech Philharmonic’s current leaders – Eva Krestová and Jan Fišer – in Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante.

Three concertmasters of the Czech Philharmonic—Jan Fišer, Václav Petr and Eva Krestová—come together for an Advent concert full of charm and brilliance. The mood may be light but the artistry is anything but the centrepiece is Mozart’s Divertimento, a work that elevates a genre once intended as simple entertainment into a space of refined musicality.

As a boy, Giovanni’s parents wanted to enrol him in the preparatory department of the Milan Conservatoire. According to the school, their son was too high-spirited, and he was not admitted as a violin student, but he soon more than made up for their disappointment. He studied the recorder, and while still a student, he joined with the lute player Luca Pianca in establishing Il Giardino Armonico—an ensemble that has won worldwide renown over its 40 years of existence in the field of the informed interpretation of early music.
