Sir András Schiff ⬩ Rudolf Firkušný Piano Festival

One of the greatest musicians on the classical scene today, piano virtuoso Sir András Schiff, will open the 12th edition of the Rudolf Firkušný Piano Festival, which will take place from 2 to 9 November 2024 under the supervision of the Prague Spring International Music Festival. The artist-in-residence of the New York Philharmonic and regular guest of the BBC Proms and the Salzburg Festival is preparing a recital of Czech music for Prague. What pieces will he play? Which Czech composers will Schiff lend his mastery of interpretation to? This will remain a secret until the last moment, as the artist will not announce the programme until the concert! “Carte blanche” for Sir András Schiff will not only be an interesting contribution to The Year of Czech Music, but above all an exciting opening to the festival that bears the name of the legendary Czech pianist.
