The Czech Philharmonic, in its 130th season, presents subscription series A, B, an extended series C, and four special concerts. Chief Conductor Semyon Bychkov will be joined throughout the season by Principal Guest Conductors Jakub Hrůša and Simon Rattle. Pianist Evgeny Kissin will take on the role of Artist-in-Residence, while Bryce Dessner will become the orchestra's first-ever Composer-in-Residence.
In Subscription Series A you will hear a wide variety of compositions—from Telemann to Jaroslav Krček. Besides Mahler and Shostakovich, there will also be less frequently heard works by composers like Gideon Klein and Hans Krása. All of this will be performed by Semyon Bychkov, Simon Rattle, Jakub Hrůša, or Giovanni Antonini.
The concerts of Subscription Series B are prepared by the conductors Semyon Bychkov, John Eliot Gardiner, Manfred Honeck, Tomáš Netopil, and Jakub Hrůša with the soloists Daniil Trifonov, Josef Špaček, and Matthias Goern. You will enjoy Czech repertoire as well as symphonies by Mahler, Shostakovich, and Beethoven.
Three premieres, three debuts, and one big oratorio—that is how one might characterise Subscription Series C. Its four concerts with Semyon Bychkov, Tomáš Netopil, Daniel Harding, the Prague Philharmonic Choir, and many wonderful soloists promise to be a wonderful experience.
Each season, our traditional special projects include pairs of Opening Concerts, Concerts for Freedom and Democracy, New Years’ Concerts, and a concluding Outdoor Concert. For our 127th season, we are adding Advent concerts and a special concert by our artists-in-residence.
Our popular Advent Concerts take place in the Rudolfinum’s Suk Hall every Sunday in Advent at 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. You will hear varied programmes in the pre-Christmas spirit prepared by chamber ensembles consisting of Czech Philharmonic members and their guests. You can combine attending a concert with a visit to the Café Rudolfinum.
For its 127th season, the Czech Philharmonic is offering six morning public dress rehearsals. The conductor is fully in charge of the rehearsals and may interrupt the music or play some passages repeatedly. There is a special system for advance sales of tickets to public dress rehearsals.
Give the joy of music! Are you looking for the right Christmas present or a chance to spend time with your loved ones surrounded by beautiful music? Enjoy the experience of five concerts with a Christmas Subscription.
