Subscription Series C
Three premieres, three debuts, and one big oratorio—that is how one might characterise Subscription Series C. Its four concerts with Semyon Bychkov, Tomáš Netopil, Daniel Harding, the Prague Philharmonic Choir, and many wonderful soloists promise to be a wonderful experience.
The four concerts of Subscription Series C offer a highly diverse programme including two Czech premieres and one world premiere, Schumann’s oratorio Das Paradies und die Peri, and Stravinsky’s suite from the ballet Petrushka. The Prague public will be hearing Detlev Glanert’s Prague Symphony, Bimetal by Miloš Orson Štědroň, and Thierry Escaich’s Piano Concerto for the first time. Escaich appeared as an organist during the orchestra’s 126th season. Taking turns on the conductor’s podium will be Semyon Bychkov, Tomáš Netopil, and Daniel Harding, the latter making his Czech Philharmonic debut. The violinists Johan Dalene and Seong Jin Cho Svou are also appearing at the Rudolfinum for the first time.
