Pictures at an Exhibition

Tomáš Brauner and the Prague Symphony Orchestra have been consistently nurturing the remarkable work of Karel Husa, who wrote his violin concerto as a commission from the New York Philharmonic to celebrate 150 years since its founding. It will now be performed in its Czech premiere. The devilishly demanding violin part will be taken by virtuoso Milan Paľa. As a counterbalance, the program features the famous Pictures at an Exhibition, a challenge for any orchestra, which joyfully journeys with the audience to the majestic Great Gate of Kiev.
