About the event
This concert is the final event in the 28th Made In Prague Festival, which showcases Czech-British contemporary art, debuts new feature and documentary films, theatre, poetry in public spaces and particularly this year, live music. It coincides with the Year of Czech Music 2024, a decennial celebration of Czech composers, which takes place around the world.
Dvorak’s Violin Concerto is a marvellous example of the great Czech composer incorporating the spirit of his homeland into a concert work that has charmed violinists and audiences around the world. And his Bohemian spirit also shines through in Symphony No.8, one of his most energetic and playful works.
The English Chamber Orchestra is conducted by their Principal Guest Conductor, Roberto Fores Veses in this concert, which also includes works by Faure and Saint-Saens, and explores the close connection between the Prague and Paris Conservatories.
