Advent Concert II • Rudolphin Ensemble Prague

The Rudolphin Ensemble Prague was founded a few years ago by Czech Philharmonic members who wanted to play chamber music as a string quintet. Their Advent Concert consists mostly of older repertoire, but at the conclusion you will also hear music by George Gershwin and Glenn Miller, and the highpoint will be Irving Berlin’s White Christmas.
