Zimerman, Liebreich & Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra: Dvořák Prague Festival

イベント情報

“An American Evening” would be a possible name for this concert, which brings together music by two leading American composers of the twentieth century: Leonard Bernstein and Samuel Barber. There will also be a rare performance of Antonín Dvořák’s cantata The American Flag. In this way, the festival is continuing to fulfil its long‐term mission of familiarising audiences with Dvořák’s lesser‐known opuses. The main star of the evening will be the legendary Polish pianist Krystian Zimerman, who will be paying tribute to Leonard Bernstein with a performance of his Symphony No. 2 (The Age of Anxiety). Appearing in Dvořák’s cantata will be two young singers making their Prague debut, the tenor Oliver Johnston and the baritone Samuel Dale Johnson.

The Dvořák Prague Festival is not only a celebration of the work of the musical genius and the world's most acclaimed Czech composer, Antonín Dvořák, but also an important social event. It is a parade of outstanding performers, conductors, internationally recognized orchestras, and chamber ensembles that come to Prague to present Dvořák's music and other works of world‐renowned composers to an international audience.

Experience the music of this fascinating composer in the city where he spent most of his composing life.
