Concerts on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day should belong to the best young artists! The soloists appearing under Roberta Kružík’s baton will be some of our top players: oboist Barbora Trnčíková, French hornist Kateřina Javůrková, and trumpet player Walter Hofbauer. We promise our carefully chosen programme will thaw even the chilliest frost. There is no risk of a hangover; there will be nothing but the pure joy of music.

We hope the atmosphere awaiting you will be just as festive as Shostakovich’s overture, which opens the evening. We also hope that your year 2026 will be full of
gentleness like Clair de lune,
colour like Ravel’s Alborada,
fun like Morricone’s music,
success like the premiere of the opera Cavalleria rusticana,
fruitful dialogues like Dukas’s Villanelle,
humour like Bernstein’s Candide
dancing like Márquez’s Danzón and Böhm’s Tarantella!
