Featuring Czech Philharmonic violinist Viktor Mazáček and mezzo-soprano Markéta Cukrová, this concert celebrates the pure beauty of Baroque music. A blend of sacred and secular works by Antonio Vivaldi offers space for reflection as well as admiration for both compositional craft and musical expression.

Advent Concert II • Markéta Cukrová

Rudolfinum

Principle Guest Conductor Jakub Hrůša has once again prepared a bold programme based on dramatic contrasts. The concert opens with the world premiere of a work by Pavel Zemek Novák followed by a gem of the piano literature played by the brilliant Leif Ove Andsnes. After Grieg comes Vladimír Sommer’s evocative Vocal Symphony which will mark the Czech Philharmonic’s fourth performance of the work.

Czech Philharmonic • Leif Ove Andsnes

The delicate and transparent sounds of High Classicism will be heard in this concert of works by Haydn and Mozart performed by the pianist Miroslav Sekera and mezzo-soprano Markéta Cukrová, one of the Czech Republic’s most versatile singers.

Czech Chamber Music Society • Markéta Cukrová

The 2025/26 season is the 20th in the history of Steps to the New World, and our dear conductor Marko Ivanovič is celebrating a round-numbered birthday, so we will hear pieces dear to his heart and some others  he himself composed.
