Conductor Tomáš Hanus will open the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra’s new season with the overture-fantasy Romeo and Juliet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. At this gala evening you will hear Concerto No. 2 in G Minor for Violin and Orchestra by Sergei Prokofiev. It will feature Marc Bouchkov, an outstanding Belgian violinist of Russian-Ukrainian origin. This artist, known for his virtuosity on international stages and for his teaching work in Belgium and Germany, will offer you an impressive interpretation of one of the most technically demanding violin works, one that also carries great emotional depth.

The second part of the gala concert will feature two symphonic poems by Richard Strauss: Don Juan and Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks. Strauss portrayed Don Juan in a very emotional way - the orchestral score is full of passionate drama and fast tempos. The symphonic poem Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks is a contrasting piece.  He vividly portrays the legendary trickster and his comic stunts with humour and irony.

The concert will be broadcast live on Czech Radio Vltava.
