About the concert, one of America’s most eminent conductors, says: “I enthusiastically invite you to the Czech Philharmonic’s annual gift of music to the Czech people and to visitors to the capital of the Czech Republic. This year feels particularly special, with the concert’s dedication to the orchestra’s beloved leader and musical icon, maestro Jiri Belohlavek. I am so excited to be reunited with my Czech musical family, and to perform in the middle of a city which rings, forever, with the sounds of great music!”
