CCMS – Subscription Series

Series I will begin festively with the same programme heard 130 years ago (almost to the day) at the first concert of the Czech Chamber Music Society. This series will offer the most diverse programming of all, ranging from the Renaissance to the music of living composers.

Conductor, composer, double bass player, pianist – this year’s curator Petr Popelka can boast all of these attributes and will reveal multiple aspects of his artistry to Czech Chamber Music Society audiences. The first concert of Series II will feature his Clarinet Quintet (with the Fritz Busch Quartett, an ensemble of players from the Dresden Staatskapelle), and we will hear him as a double bass player at the February concert when he will join with the Elphier Quartett.

This year, the Recital Series is appearing in Czech Chamber Music Society programming for only the fifth time. In this short period of time, however, it has already offered several top solo performers, and it will be no different in the jubilee 130th season of the Czech Chamber Music Society.

Czech music, works of the 20th century, and a series of both established and young Czech artists are all things that connect this year’s Early Evening Concerts, which will take place in the intimate setting of the Suk Hall.

Again this year, we are inviting you to the Martinů Hall at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague’s Lesser Town for one of our Czech Chamber Music Society series. Morning Concerts always offer programmes with diverse combinations of players, and thanks to the special environment, they have a unique atmosphere.
