Czech Mates: Military Symphony

The young Czech conductor Jakub Hrusa has been making a name for himself all over Europe in recent seasons, and for his CBSO debut he conducts a varied programme including music from his homeland.

We continue our Janácek series with the Suite from his comic-book opera set among the forest wildlife, and you also have an all-too-rare opportunity to hear a set of Dvorak's Slavonic Dances played as part of a concert rather than as encores! Haydn was the only major composer to write anywhere near a hundred symphonies and this is a real gem. Tchaikovsky's barn-storming overture completes a fun programme.
