CNSO Chamber Soloists
Performing again this year at the Prague Proms International Music Festival, are the CNSO Chamber Soloists. The group was born a few years ago, when Jan Hasenöhrl and violinist Alexej Rosík had the idea to select the top players from the CNSO and build a chamber choir. For this performance, the CNSO Chamber Soloists have prepared a program featuring three distinct genres of world music. The group will perform Béla Bartók's Romanian Folk Dances, written in 1915. This will be followed by a performance of Leoš Janáček's Suite for Strings. As the final genre represented, audiences can look forward to hearing one of the last chamber compositions by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, entitled Serenade for Strings in C major.

ABOUT
Performing again this year at the Prague Proms International Music Festival, are the CNSO Chamber Soloists. The group was born a few years ago, when Jan Hasenöhrl and violinist Alexej Rosík had the idea to select the top players from the CNSO and build a chamber choir. Since then, the ensemble has played a number of successful concerts and accompanied several incredible soloists like Lucienne Renaudin Vary, Jiří Houdek and the aforementioned concertmaster Alexej Rosík.
For this performance, the CNSO Chamber Soloists have prepared a program featuring three distinct genres of world music. The group will perform Leoš Janáček's Suite for Strings. This work was the composer's first orchestral composition, which he composed before beginning his studies at the Leipzig Conservatory. It was also the piece which he first conducted in December 1877. This will be followed by a Béla Bartók's Romanian Folk Dances, written in 1915. As the final genre represented, audiences can look forward to hearing composition by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, entitled Serenade for Strings in C major.
