프라하 필하모닉(Prague Philharmonia)
The Prague Philharmonia was founded by the world renowned conductor Jiří Bělohlávek and under his leadership quickly became one of the best Czech orchestras with an international reputation. This has been confirmed by the orchestra's long-term success with the audiences and critics alike, regular invitations for tours abroad and recording contracts with major international labels.
The Prague Philharmonia maintains the formation of the classical Viennese orchestra, altering and expanding the layout as required by the orchestra's broad repertoire, which includes major chamber, symphonic and operatic works of the Classical and Romantic periods, music by leading 20th century composers as well as new works by contemporary authors. Members of the orchestra also devote their attention to chamber music and perform within the framework of the Prague Philharmonia's chamber music series, the programming of which is largely decided by the players themselves.
Renowned Czech and foreign artists who have performed with the Prague Philharmonia include the pianists Ivan Moravec, Yefim Bronfman, András Schiff, Elizabeth Leonskaja and Martha Argerich; the violinists Shlomo Mintz, Sarah Chang, Isabelle Faust and Pavel Šporcl; the cellists Mischa Maisky, Jean-Guihen Queyras and Jiří Bárta. The orchestra collaborates with such conductors as Jiří Bělohlávek, Christopher Hogwood, Marco Zambelli, Daniele Callegari, Marco Armiliato, Libor Pešek, Paul McCreesh and Michel Swierczewski.
The orchestra regularly accompanies the singers Magdalena Kožená, Eva Urbanová and Dagmar Pecková, as well as the world opera stars Bryn Terfel, José Cura, Ramón Vargas, Dmitrij Hvorostovsky, Jennifer Larmore and Natalie Dessay. The concerts of the celebrated Mexican tenor Rolando Villazón and the Prague Philharmonia in Prague, Paris and several German cities received an enthusiastic acclaim. Mr Villazón's profile CD Viva Villazón! is also accompanied by a bonus DVD recording from one of his recitals with the Prague Philharmonia. In July 2008 the Prague Philharmonia performed at a joint recital of Juan Diego Flórez and Rolando Villazón at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris; in October 2008 it accompanied the music stars Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Angela Gheorgiu, Andrea Bocelli, Sting and others at the Pavarotti Tribute in Petra, Jordan.
Since its foundation, the orchestra has recorded over 60 titles for such labels as the Deutsche Grammophon, Harmonia Mundi, Decca, EMI, Naxos and Supraphon. The album Souvenirs of the celebrated soprano Anna Netrebko (Deutsche Grammophon) is among the Prague Philharmonia latests recordings.
The Prague Philharmonia not only attracts the attention of seasoned concert-goers but has also become popular with young listeners. The regular Saturday concerts for children and their parents have been drawing large audiences for eight years. Their aim is both to educate and to entertain. Building on this successful platform, the Prague Philharmonia has launched the NOTIČKA club for children between four and thirteen years of age. The club members have the opportunity to get to know various musical instruments, meet the musicians, develop other aesthetic interests including drawing and dramatic arts, and, last but not least, to make new friends.
The Prague Philharmonia was founded in 1994 by the renowned Czech maestro Jiří Bělohlávek, who was shaping the orchestra until the 2005-2006 season when he was appointed the chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra in London. He was succeded by the Swiss conductor Kaspar Zehnder (until August 2008). The young Czech conductor Jakub Hrůša became the orchestra's new chief conductor at the beginning of the 2008-2009 season.
