Czech Philharmonic ⬩ Concert for subscribers

Chief Conductor and Music Director Semyon Bychkov with pianist Kirill Gerstein will play Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2, which the composer wrote as a gift for his son Maxim, who performed it on May 10, 1957, on his nineteenth birthday, at an entrance concert at the Moscow Conservatory. In the second half of the concert, the Czech Phil will play Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy’s Italian Symphony, written when the twenty-four-year-old author was fascinated by his stay in the sun-lit Mediterranean.
