The season opens with three evenings of chief conductor Semyon Bychkov presenting a Dvořák programme crowned by his Eighth Symphony, and we are also eagerly anticipating the appearance of the outstanding violinist Augustin Hadelich. Also choosing Dvořák is the legendary artist Antonio Pappano, chief conductor of the Royal Opera House and of the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, and we can look forward to his interpretation of the second series of Slavonic Dances. Not to be overshadowed is the superb violinist Janine Jansen, who will play Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor. Jakub Hrůša will give three New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day concerts in the Czech spirit while commemorating the 100th anniversary of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. In accordance with tradition, Petr Altrichter is preparing the Open Air Concert to get you dancing along with an outstanding vocal trio.
