Komorní sólisté ČNSO

The Czech National Symphony Orchestra chamber soloist stars already garnered plenty of justified praise on our website presentation for this concert. And I’m delighted to say that the excellent programme selection combined with the captivating atmosphere of an almost jam-packed Martinů hall at Liechtenstein Palace made for a truly wonderful concert.

Afterwards it dawned on me how lovely it would have been to film the whole concert live since such experiences and chamber programmes of this calibre don’t come around very often, nor do they figure much in our programme. I’d certainly welcome the decision to incorporate this kind of concert as a regular fixture on the Prague Proms line-up in future years.

To sum up, it’s great to see the CNSO pride itself in such established leaders who are a source of support to others; bolstering the whole orchestra in terms of talent and inspiration plus spreading healthy patriotism and a sense of belonging with the group, its focus and programme. It’s also the best way for the orchestra to maintain and strengthen its position between the audience and the professional public, plus ensure its continued appeal among prestigious international productions.
