The third evening will start in a very progressive spirit with the world premiere of a new composition for orchestra and solo trombone. Petr Wajsar, a contemporary Czech composer loved by performers and audiences alike, will present his legendary sense of humor and compositional skills. In addition to its wit and theatrical elements, his work is characterized by a crossover between many genres of classical and non-classical music. He regularly collaborates with the members of the Prague Philharmonia, especially in Contemporary Music Series S.

Wajsar. Mendelssohn. Dvořák

Dvořák Hall Rudolfinum

The last of the three concerts of the Czech Philharmonic at Dvořák Prague will certainly be the most varied in terms of dramaturgy. Under the baton of Ingo Metzmacher, there will be works paying tribute to the past as well as the world premiere of Violonceloops, in which Václav Petr will shine.

Rudolfinum

Vilém Veverka and Kateřina Englichová have long cultivated a reputation as artists unbound by convention. In the final concert of the matinee concert series, they too will turn to Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin—this time in an unconventional arrangement. Familiar themes take on new colours in a harp Fantasy on Má vlast, while contemporary music close to the performers’ hearts is represented by Wajsar’s Miniature.
