The November concert by the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Robert Jindra, will present remarkable works of American and French music. Samuel Barber wrote Toccata Festiva, Op. 36 for the inauguration of the new organ at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. It will be performed at the Municipal House in Prague by the excellent organist Christian Schmitt.

Solo appearances by players of the Czech Philharmonic are always special, so it is with great pleasure that they are presented as part of the Czech Chamber Music Society seasons. For this second recital in this series, the main performers are the concertmaster of the cello section Václav Petr and an up-and-coming figure of the younger generation of pianists Marek Kozák. Their programme will link works of different centuries, styles, and countries.

At the February concert the Prague Philharmonia’s Chamber Music Series will host the Ševčík Quartet for the very first time. Among other things, they will play Leoš Janáček’s String Quartet No. 1, which he composed upon a suggestion of the Czech Quartet. It is a masterpiece by a composer who in his early seventies realized the importance of the string quartet as a musical form and brought his inspiration from Leo Tolstoy’s novella The Kreutzer Sonata into the work.
