Lobgesang & Český filharmonický sbor Brno & PF

ABOUT THE CONCERT

The Pilsen Philharmonic, under the baton of Chuhei Iwasaki, presents Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s monumental vocal-symphonic work – Symphony No. 2 in B-flat major “Lobgesang” (Hymn of Praise). This spiritually inspired composition, often compared to Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, combines orchestral grandeur with powerful choral and solo passages. The performance will feature renowned vocal soloists Barbora Perná, Jana Hrochová, and Aleš Briscein, joined by the Czech Philharmonic Choir Brno under the direction of choirmaster Petr Fiala. The evening promises an exceptional musical experience filled with noble joy, spiritual depth, and Mendelssohn’s characteristic melodic beauty.
