CONDUCTOR JAKUB HRŮŠA AT THE CSO

Shostakovich’s Eleventh Symphony unfolds with the immediacy of a newsreel as it depicts the harrowing events of the 1905 Russian Revolution. Brimming with rebellious anthems and prisoners’ songs, the Cold War-era score is widely heard as a veiled critique of the Soviet regime. Rachmaninov’s First Piano Concerto, a farewell to Russia, features the captivating Simon Trpčeski.

The TGM group of parents, friends, and teachers wrapped up Saturday’s classes in style – by heading to the final concert of the legendary Petr Janda’s last American tour! 🎸🎶 Some of our Czech language students even prepared a cheat sheet so they could sing along. Our teacher and violinist, Klára Moldová, was invited on stage by Petr Janda himself and joined him for a few songs. 🎻
