Czech Philharmonic, Semyon Bychkov

The Dvořák Hall in Rudolfinum welcomes the Czech Philharmonic back on stage for the new exciting season

The opening concert for the orchestra’s 130th season is all about the lucky number seven! Dmitri Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto is his Opus 77. The Czech Philharmonic Artist-in-Residence Janine Jansen was born on the seventh day of the month. And according to Semyon Bychkov, it is with his Seventh Symphony that Dvořák fully becomes himself.

“I had conducted Dvořák’s symphonies many times before I arrived in Prague, but once I began leading the Czech Philharmonic, I discovered new layers in them. Now, it’s no longer ‘their’ Dvořák or ‘my’ Dvořák. It’s ‘our Dvořák’.”
– Semyon Bychkov
