Subscription Series B
The concerts of Subscription Series B are prepared by the conductors Semyon Bychkov, John Eliot Gardiner, Manfred Honeck, Tomáš Netopil, and Jakub Hrůša with the soloists Daniil Trifonov, Josef Špaček, and Matthias Goern. You will enjoy Czech repertoire as well as symphonies by Mahler, Shostakovich, and Beethoven.
In Subscription Series B top conductors and soloists will present six marvellous programmes. The chief conductor Semyon Bychkov has scheduled Mahler’s Seventh as part of the complete series of the composer’s symphonies, and he will perform half of the second concert with the Czech Philharmonic and half with the Czech Student Philharmonic. Our special guest from abroad John Eliot Gardiner will prepare a programme of all Czech music, as will Tomáš Netopil and Josef Špaček. Jakub Hrůša will perform Suk’s Asrael Symphony as part of his survey of Suk’s complete orchestral works, and he has also invited the superb pianist Daniil Trifonov for collaboration. Manfred Honeck will appear as well, and returning to the Rudolfinum with him is the baritone Matthias Goerne.
