For this recital at the Martinů Hall, the PBtet presents the full range of possibilities from the brass quintet genre, from more typical fanfares to a suite from the opera Rusalka. The contemporary Czech composer Jan Kučera has written The Four-Colour Suite especially for the ensemble.

In his cycle Windows, Petr Eben unforgettably combined the sounds of the organ and trumpet. This emblematic work and other noteworthy compositions written for a non-traditional combination of instruments will open this year’s series of Morning Concerts with Czech Philharmonic first trumpet player Walter Hofbauer and organist Petr Čech.

Concerts on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day should belong to the best young artists! The soloists appearing under Roberta Kružík’s baton will be some of our top players: oboist Barbora Trnčíková, French hornist Kateřina Javůrková, and trumpet player Walter Hofbauer. We promise our carefully chosen programme will thaw even the chilliest frost. There is no risk of a hangover; there will be nothing but the pure joy of music.
