The composer and conductor Peter Eötvös (born 2 January 1944) and the chief conductor of the Filharmonie Brno, Dennis Russell Davies (born 16 April 1944), two distinctive personalities of the contemporary musical world, celebrate their 75th birthdays this year. To mark the occasion, the two musicians will come together with the Filharmonie for the final concert of Moravian Autumn. Peter Eötvös conducts pieces by composers who have influenced his work (Mozart and Bartók), while Dennis Russell Davies leads the performance of Peter Eötvös’s compositions. Besední dům will be the venue for this unique birthday party – a celebration that is not to be missed.

Cast orchestra

Dan Tepfer Yamaha Disklavier

The opening concert of the series offers a novel experience, in which live and mechanical music are combined: the Disklavier sends Dan Tepfer’s music to a computer, which processes it as data and lets the keyboard sound out in response. The tones are also converted into graphics in real-time, so enriching the auditory experience with visual stimuli.

Orchestra Academy of Filharmonie Brno is a project that allows talented young musicians – students or fresh graduates of music schools, who are selected by audition – to gain orchestral experience in a professional ensemble. In this way, the Philharmonic develops the next generation of players who might in the future become its members.During its two-year course, the Academy offers its students not just the possibility of orchestral practice, but also an opportunity to present their abilities in chamber performance, in a concert series entitled Young Blood.

Over the past seasons, the series has earned a substantial audience – music fans appreciate the youthful and engrossing performances, the varied and attractive repertoire, and, last but not least, the enchanting atmosphere of these concerts.

For this occasion, the hall of the Besední dům is intimately lit and offers an unusual seating plan, so that the audience can feel really close to the musicians – as indeed suggested by the series subtitle, Music from nearby. You won’t feel separated from the performers by a platform and there is no need for formal evening dress either.

The list of performers and programmes is available about a month before the concert.
