‘Prague Philharmonia & Jan Kučera’

In July, the Czech Republic took over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union from France. This was the perfect excuse for Bozar to put the Czech Republic in the spotlight this autumn. We are particularly honoured to announce that the Prague Philharmonic will be opening the concert season. This relatively young orchestra may have only seen the light of day in 1994, they are gradually building a solid international reputation for themselves. On the bill is a Belgian premiere by the young composer Tomáš Kačo and the Czech Suite by Antonín Dvořák, in which he pays a dancing tribute to his homeland. Meanwhile, pianist Lukáš Vondráček, first laureate of the Queen Elisabeth Competition 2016, is already limbering up for a dazzling performance of Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto.
