Advent Concert IV • Philharmonic Brass

You may never have heard so many trumpets at the Rudolfinum at the same time! And the Czech Philharmonic Brass has trombones, French horns, and tuba as well. You will hear arrangements of music spanning from the Renaissance to the 20th century, then the concert will end with some carols arranged by Antonín Pecha. Christmas can now begin!
