Two gems of the romantic music literature! We will hear the most famous piano concert of all time performed by a fifteen-year-old virtuoso of Slovak-Australian origin, Ryan Martin Bradshaw, winner of prestigious world competitions and absolute winner of Concertino Praga 2021. Then we will set off for a great journey to the peaks of the Alps in a monumental symphony by Richard Strauss.

“Stunning yet cursed by some. Late romantic, grand, masterfully instrumented. Such is the score of the Alpine Symphony.”

Petr Veber

Petr Iljič Čajkovskij

Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 1 in B minor Op. 23

Richard Strauss

An Alpine Symphony for large orchestra, Op. 64

frequently asked questions

Bad Weather...
The performance takes place outdoors. If the usually pleasant summer skies aren’t obliging, an awning will take a few minutes to silently roll into place over the heads of the audience. Therefore, the performance will go ahead even if it rains. A few raindrops may fall in spots in Section C, which is why tickets for this section are sold for a discounted price.
Wheelchairs
We want do everything possible to make things easy for people in wheelchairs. Therefore, to purchase tickets, please contact Jitka at nazdravetska@smetanovalitomysl.cz or +420 602 457 338.
Tour of Smetana’s Birthplace
It’s almost as if intermission was created just for visiting Smetana’s birthplace, as it’s directly on the grounds.
