The opening Baroque–Classical programme will be conducted by Giovanni Antonini. Chief Conductor Semyon Bychkov presents a blend of traditional and contemporary works, while Antonio Pappano leads a one-act opera by Luigi Dallapiccola. Jakub Hrůša explores an inspired combination of Josef Suk, Britten and Dessner. Cristian Măcelaru returns after a decade, presenting Wynton Marsalis’s violin concerto with Nicola Benedetti. Also featured are Czech Philharmonic musicians Jan Fišer, Václav Petr and Karolina Pancernaite, mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron, pianists Evgeny Kissin and Víkingur Ólafsson, and a surprising touch—two electric guitars.
