  • Czech Philharmonic
    Biography Czech Philharmonic “The Czech Philharmonic is among the very few orchestras that have managed to preserve a unique identity. In a music world that is increasingly globalized and uniform, the Orchestra’s noble tradition has retained authenticity of expression and sound, making it one of the world's artistic treasures. When the orchestra and Czech government asked me to succeed beloved Jiří Bělohlávek, I felt deeply honoured by the trust they were ready to place in me. There is no greater privilege for an artist than to become part of and lead an institution that shares the same values, the same commitment and the same devotion to the art of music.” Semyon Bychkov, Chief Conductor & Music Director The 125 year-old Czech Philharmonic gave its first concert – an all Dvořák programme which included the world première of his Biblical Songs, Nos. 1-5 conducted by the composer himself - in the famed Rudolfinum Hall on 4 January 1896. Acknowledged for its definitive interpretations of Czech composers, whose music the Czech Philharmonic has championed since its formation, the Orchestra is also recognised for the special relationship it has to the music of Brahms and Tchaikovsky - friends of Dvořák - and to Mahler, who gave the world première of his Symphony No. 7 with the Orchestra in 1908. The Czech Philharmonic’s extraordinary and proud history reflects both its location at the very heart of Europe and the Czech Republic’s turbulent political history, for which Smetana’s Má vlast (My Homeland) has become a potent symbol. The Orchestra gave its first full rendition of Má vlast in a brewery in Smíchov in 1901; in 1925 under Chief Conductor Václav Talich, Má vlast was the Orchestra’s first live broadcast and, five years later, the first work that the Orchestra committed to disc.

    Czech Philharmonic Semyon Bychkov, Chief Conductor and Music Director Kateřina Javůrková announced as first winner of the Jiří Bělohlávek Prize French horn player Kateřina Javůrková was announced as the first winner of the Jiří Bělohlávek Prize in Prague last week. Presented by the Czech Philharmonic in memory of the late Jiří Bělohlávek, the Orchestra's Chief Conductor and Music Director from 2012-2017, the new prize will be awarded annually to musicians up to the age of 30. This year’s prize was presented to Kateřina Javůrková by Jiří Bělohlávek’s widow Anna Fejérová at the Czech Philharmonic’s annual open-air concert at Prague’s Hradčany Square broadcast live on Czech Television. In addition to the financial award of 30,000 Czech Korunas, Kateřina Javůrková also received a diploma designed by Bělohlávek’s close friend, painter Jiří Voves. Kateřina was chosen by a committee consisting of representatives of the Czech institutions with whom Jiří Bělohlávek had a close relationship in his later years. In addition to the Czech Philharmonic, these include the Prague Philharmonia, Prague Spring International Music Festival and Prague’s Academy of Performing Arts. Also on the committee are Anna Fejérová and the Chief Editor of the classical music magazine Harmonie. Kateřina Javůrková is a graduate of both the Prague Conservatoire and Academy of Performing Arts. In addition to her contribution to promoting Czech chamber music abroad with groups such as the Baborák Ensemble and the Belfiato Quintet, with whom she has been playing for twelve years, Javůrková also performs as a soloist and won the top prizes at the 2013 Prague Spring International Music Competition and 2016 International ARD Music Competition in Munich.

    For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: June 2, 2016 Eileen Chambers, 312-294-3092 Photos Available By Request [email protected] MUSIC DIRECTOR RICCARDO MUTI LEADS TWO PROGRAMS TO CONCLUDE THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA’S 125TH SEASON June 16–26, 2016 Muti Leads Brahms’ Serenade No. 1 and Beethoven’s Violin Concerto with Julia Fischer as Soloist (June 16–21) Muti Leads an All-Bruckner Program including the Symphony No. 9 and Te Deum featuring the Chicago Symphony Chorus and Soloists (June 23–26) CHICAGO—Music Director Riccardo Muti returns in June to lead the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in two programs to conclude the 125th season (June 16–26). Throughout the 2015/16 season, Muti and the Orchestra have honored the ensemble’s distinguished history with performances of works that received either their world or U.S. premieres from the CSO. The final season program includes two of these works—Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9, which was given its U.S. premiere by the CSO in 1904, and his choral masterwork, Te Deum, which was given its U.S. premiere by the CSO in 1892. Both premieres were led by the CSO’s first music director, Theodore Thomas. Muti opens his June residency with the CSO with a program (June 16–21) that includes Brahms’ Serenade No. 1 and Beethoven’s Violin Concerto with Julia Fischer as soloist. Originally composed as chamber music, Brahms later adapted his Serenade No. 1 for full orchestra, offering a preview of the rich compositional style that would emerge in his four symphonies. The six-movement work is filled with lyrical wind and string passages, as well as exuberant writing in the allegro and scherzo movements.
