Czech Philharmonic & Jakub Hrůša Live from Rudolfinum

The Closing Concert was originally to have comprised Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, marking the special anniversaries of both the composer and the festival, with whose history the work is closely associated. Thanks to conductor Jakub Hrůša we will still have Beethoven’s music even during the pandemic. Hrůša and the Czech Philharmonic are preparing for a performance of two late Beethoven quartets arranged for string orchestra. Stream will be available "here":www.festival.cz

Programme: – Ludwig van Beethoven: String Quartet No. 14 in C sharp minor op. 131 (string orchestra arrangement) – Ludwig van Beethoven: String Quartet No. 16 in F major op. 135 (string orchestra arrangement)
