Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35

The evening's soloist is Jan Mráček. The youngest laureate of the Prague Spring International Music Competition and winner of the prestigious International Fritz Kreisler Competition in Vienna became the concertmaster of the Czech Philharmonic at the invitation of Jiří Bělohlávek. In 2011 he was also the youngest soloist to ever perform with the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra. Since then he has worked with the orchestra. This time they will join forces to present the Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major, a virtuosic work full of gorgeous melodies by the Russian classic Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
