The Beatles Night

ABOUT THE CONCERT

In the year that marks the thirtieth anniversary of the first ever CNSO concert, we are committed to bringing our listeners some of our most widely loved programmes and conductors to remember. One such combination is Carl Davis, the darling of the Prague audiences, and his Beatles Night project.  The Smetana Hall has hosted this concert several times, and it is always hopelessly sold out. A Hard Day’s Night, Norwegian Wood, Let it Be... plus most of their other hits will be performed for your ears at Prague Proms festival as part of the CNSO's 30th season!

CNSO - Czech National Symphony Orchestra

Over the past 30 years the Czech National Symphony Orchestra has grown to become one of the leading Czech ensembles, currently ranking among the most highly sought-after orchestras in Europe. Its glowing reputation can be attributed to the members’ versatility, performing a wide range of genres, spanning classical works, film music and jazz, as well as musicals, which attract large domestic and international audiences.

Notable conductors, composers and film directors who have been collaborating with the orchestra or who worked with them at concerts and in the CNSO Studio in Prague include Lalo Schifrin, Pino Donaggio, Giuliano Taviani, Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, Quentin Tarantino, Vince Mendoza, Giuseppe Tornatore, Carl Davis, Steven Mercurio, Marcello Rota, Vladimir Cosma, Christian Lindberg and Chick Corea.

We should also mention the valuable and long-standing collaboration the orchestra enjoyed with the legendary Ennio Morricone (1928-2020), involving studio recordings and a series of concerts performed on numerous European tours.

Successful tours have taken place over the British Isles, USA, Canada, France, Spain, Dubai, Japan, Mexico, China, Korea, Oman, Australia and New Zealand.
