Czech Philharmonic • Seong-Jin Cho

Experience a mesmerizing night of classical brilliance with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Semyon Bychkov, as they bring to life a stellar program featuring Benjamin Britten’s “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” (Op. 34) – a timeless educational masterpiece originally composed in 1946 for a British government film and showcased in the Oscar‑nominated “Moonrise Kingdom”. The orchestra, accompanied by the Prague Philharmonic Choir, will then dive into Sergei Rachmaninoff’s electrifying “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini” (Op. 43), before soaring into the powerful choral symphony “The Bells” (Op. 35). Proud partners of the event include the sublime soprano Kristina Mkhitaryan, the soaring tenor Pavel Černoch, and the resonant bass Aleksei Isaev, while pianist Seong‑Jin Cho takes the spotlight mid‑concert, stepping onto the piano to deliver an unforgettable rendition of Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody. The concert is further enriched by Simon Halsey, a distinguished choral conductor and former associate of Britten, who leads the Prague Philharmonic Choir with unmistakable artistry.
