Members of the PKF—Prague Philharmonia and their guests
The program will feature exceptional and unusual titles, both serious and non-serious, by four composers historically associated with the S series.
Petr Wajsar — Jan Kučera — Miloš Orson Štědroň — Martin Hybler
The PKF—Prague Philharmonia (formerly the Prague Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra) was the first orchestra in Prague to boldly include among its subscription series one series focused on contemporary music, originally entitled “The Beauty of Today”. The first venue, where the series was launched, was the Švanda Theater in Prague’s district of Smíchov. After that, the second stop was the concert hall of the Prague Conservatory, and in recent years, it was based in Prague’s NoD Theater.
As part of the orchestra’s 30th season and the upcoming 20th season of the S series, we decided to approach the Švanda Theater and return the concerts to their original location, albeit to the new space of the Švanda Theater Studio.
We will close the series of six concerts in the old-new space with a grand finale entitled “Twenty Years of the S Series—Contemporary Prague Music Cocktail”. For this special occasion, we have addressed four composers of the younger generation who have successfully performed in the recent seasons of the S series and whose compositions have memorably enlivened its original program. I believe this will also be the case this evening, which shall be a crowning moment of the season.
Tento koncert podpořilo Ministerstvo kultury ČR z grantového programu Rok české hudby/Smetana 200.
