Whenever piano duos are spoken about, it is the Labèque sisters who spring immediately to mind. Katia and Marielle Labèque return to Prague with the music of Mozart with which they enchanted audiences back in 2016. Schubert’s "Great" Symphony will also be presented under the baton of Herbert Blomstedt, and the programme will open with a performance by the Czech Philharmonic Brass Ensemble.

Rudolfinum

The Czech Philharmonic’s Advent begins with low strings and ends with low brass. This ensemble—made up of all members of the orchestra’s trombone and tuba sections —has consistently received warm acclaim. Spanning music from the Renaissance to the 20th-century, the programme honours not only the rich sound of brass but also pays tribute to Břetislav Kotrba, a long-time member of the Czech Philharmonic and a master of musical arrangements.

Advent Concert IV • Czech Philharmonic Low Brass Ensemble

With the actress Martha Issová, we will head for the realm of musical wonders and the world of Jaroslav Ježek. The new programme written by Alice Nellis commemorates the 120th birthday of the composer, conductor, and pianist. But we could not do it without musicians. Awaiting you are the players of the trombone and tuba section of our orchestra: the Czech Philharmonic Low Brass Ensemble.
