Public moderated rehearsal
Konzerthalle Bamberg, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal (Bamberg)
Wonderful late-romantic soundscapes - including works by Josef Suk and Leoš Janáček, who are among Jakub Hrůša's favourite composers. It is therefore regularly a matter close to his heart to introduce audiences to pieces by these fascinating composers that are still relatively unknown outside the Czech Republic. The grandiose work by Janáček will be rehearsed on Wednesday night - the setting of a story about a Cossack that culminates in a magnificent apotheosis. Jakub Hrůša has really fallen for this composition, as he explained in an interview: ‘’Taras Bulba' is at the centre of my musical life. I didn't choose it, it just happened that way. It was the first work and I'm still in love with it.’The format of the public and moderated rehearsal offers the opportunity to take a look at the working phase before our symphony concerts. Our chief conductor Jakub Hrůša and moderator and violist Martin Timphus will explain and comment during the rehearsal and answer questions about the planned programme and our orchestral work.
