Advent Concert IV • Czech Double Reed Ensemble

The Advent season concludes with the largest ensemble. Joining the Czech Double Reed Ensemble on stage are members of the Czech Philharmonic, while the choir En Arché will provide the vocal element. Together, they will turn their attention mostly to older music. The programme features selections from George Frideric Handel's most famous suites in an arrangement by the Czech Philharmonic's bassoonist Tomáš Františ. Then part of the programme is devoted to the traditional Advent repertoire of Old Bohemia.
