For the first time, the Czech Philharmonic is opening the doors of its own subscription series to the London Symphony Orchestra symbolically on the 50th anniversary of the death of Benjamin Britten. His Sinfonia da Requiem will be heard alongside Gustav Mahler’s Fifth Symphony, a work that the conductor Antonio Pappano calls a celebration of the beauty of life.

We love closing the season outdoors, playing for a truly wide audience. Our Open Air concert offers both – and takes place in the iconic setting of Hradčany Square. The concert is dedicated to Jiří Bělohlávek. During the evening, the Jiří Bělohlávek Prize will be awarded to an outstanding Czech artist under 30. Full details on the programme and performers will be announced later in the season.
