This concert evening brings together the most beautiful and melodious works of music literature in one evening. The concert will be performed authentically, with true Slavic soul, by the internationally successful Czech Symphony Orchestra Prague.
Mozart’s Requiem in D minor and Beethoven’s Fifth – the Prague Symphony Orchestra present two spine-tingling masterpieces for orchestra and choir in one concert. Brilliant, strong-voiced support is provided by four soloists and the Coro di Praga.
In customary tradition, the Prague Symphony Orchestra and the Coro di Praga give a guest performance at the Laeiszhalle to round off the year. On the programme are two of the most monumental works in music history: Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Carl Orff’s choral masterpiece »Carmina Burana«, which brought the composer fame overnight in 1937.
Trilling and chirping birds in spring, buzzing and humming bees just before a furious thunderstorm in summer, grape harvest in autumn, biting cold and falling snowflakes in winter – no artistic work describes the four seasons better than Antonio Vivaldi’s cycle of the same name. The Tschechische Kammerphilharmonie Prag will be performing it as well as Handel’s »Water Music« and Haydn’s »Farewell Symphony« in the Grand Hall of the Laeiszhalle.
As Christmas approaches, the well-known ensemble Czech Chamber Philharmonia of Prague presents an out-of-the-ordinary musical event: the festive »Christmas Gala of Favourite Classics«, featuring a selection of great orchestral works by world-famous composers. The orchestra joins forces with four top Prague opera singers to put on a concert that combines radiant elegance with a reflective Yuletide mood.
Grieg compiled the most beautiful pieces of his original incidental music for Henrik Ibsen’s drama »Peer Gynt« into two orchestral suites, dispensing with the spoken dialogue and vocals. Morning Mood, the first movement of Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, is so frequently used in advertising, film and television that it is one of the best-known classical melodies. »In the Hall of the Mountain King« and »Solvejg’s Song« are also often quoted and are among Grieg’s most famous compositions.
Two highlights of classical music, W.A. Mozart’s Requiem in D minor and the mighty »German Mass« No. 2 by Franz Schubert - two of the most moving masterpieces for orchestra and choir on one concert evening! The Czech Symphony Orchestra Prague takes up the great challenge of presenting these two works in one event.They will be masterfully and vocally supported by four excellent soloists and the Coro di Praga.
