For the first time in its history, the Smetana Litomy\u0161l Festival opens with two concerts. The inaugural program responds to the festival theme of NATURA and culminates in the music of Igor Stravinsky. The suite from the ballet The Rite of Spring<\/em> once shocked the world and continues to fascinate with its portrayal of nature\u2019s untamed power, as well as its order. As a contrast to this work, the first half of the concert features the symphonic poem Wallenstein\u2019s Camp<\/em> by Bed\u0159ich Smetana and Ludwig van Beethoven\u2019s <\/em> Piano Concerto No. 5 in E flat major <\/em>in which the star pianist Seong-Jin Cho joins the Czech Philharmonic \u2013 the festival\u2019s partner orchestra. The performance will be led by a specialist in 20th-century music, the American conductor David Robertson. <\/p>\n\n
