Event Details

Filharmonie Brno was established as the Brno State Philharmonic on 1 January 1956 and performed its first concert that very day. Since then it has held regular New Year concerts, thus symbolically welcoming not just the start of a new year but also celebrating its birthday – in 2023 it will be the orchestra’s 67th.

This time, the unifying programming theme will be Europe as a space for mutual inspiration, a topic we feel is particularly important today. What brings the pieces on the programme together is that their composers found inspiration in European countries other than those of their birth. Tchaikovsky drew impressions for his Italian Capriccio during his stay in Rome; Smetana wrote his Shakespearean symphonic poem Richard III in Sweden; the British composer Addinsell conceived the Warsaw Concerto for the film Dangerous Moonlight about the Polish defence against the Fascist invasion; the Hungarian-Austrian composer Ligeti in his early Concert Românesc took his inspiration from Romanian folklore; and finally Ravel never concealed his admiration for Spain, as most famously declared in his Bolero.
