Prague Symphony Orchestra
The city’s finest municipal orchestra perform in one of its finest municipal spaces, the 1906 monument to Art Nouveau that houses the magnificent Smetana Hall. Conducted by Tadeusz Strugala, the Prague Symphony Orchestra offers up a programme of little-known Czech music, paired with a classic that comes complete with shimmering climax. Petr Pokorny’s Two songs Opus 47 for Baritone and Orchestra leads off the evening, followed by Alban Berg’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra. The second half veers back from the edge with Beethoven’s Symphony No 7 in A major, Opus 92. Solos from acclaimed violinist Ida Levin and baritone virtuoso Petr Matuszek add to the lustre.
