Morning Concerts

With respect to programming and instrumentation, the Saturday Matinee Series in the Martinů Hall will probably be the most varied. Two concerts will be devoted to great composers.

Jaroslav Tůma will play Bach’s complete Goldberg Variations, and we will present Niccolo Paganini as a composer not only of violin music, but also of guitar repertoire with a joint appearance by the violinist Jiří Vodička and the guitarist Pavel Steidl. A lovely Christmas programme by the Martinů Voices will serve as the vocal component. The Czech Philharmonic Low Brass and some invited guests will present a concert carried over from the cancelled 2020/2021 season. We can look forward to hearing the Škampa Quartet and the pianist Lukáš Klánský in Korngold’s Piano Quintet, and also worth mentioning is the matinee with the Czech Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra and Suk’s Serenade.
