Conductor Elim Chan Makes Her Debut with the Czech Philharmonic

Due to health reasons, Chief Conductor and Music Director Semjon Bychkov will not be leading the Czech Philharmonic concerts this week. As a result, conductor Elim Chan will be stepping in, making her Czech debut. Additionally, there is a change in the programme — instead of John Adams’s Frenzy, the orchestra will perform Maurice Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite.

One of the most sought-after artists of her generation embodies the spirit of contemporary orchestral leadership with her crystalline precision and expressive zeal. She served as Principal Conductor of the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra between 2019–2024 and Principal Guest Conductor of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra between 2018–2023.

At the concerts on 5, 6, and 7 November, she will perform at the Rudolfinum with the Czech Philharmonic and pianist Evgeny Kissin.
