Czech Chamber Music Society • Rudolfinum Consort

Unjustly neglected Czech composers will again be under the spotlight thanks to enthusiasts of (not only) early music among the Philharmonic players. The Rudolfinum Consort will conclude our season in the spirit of Classicism. In works for wind instruments, including two modern-era premieres, the ensemble will demonstrate the forms the style took in the music of internationally recognised Czech natives.
