Czech and American orchestras share a stage
On 21 June, the National Wind Orchestra performed in the concert hall of the Prague Conservatory as part of the Rio Americano Concert Band & Jazz Band concert. The concert opened with a piece by Japanese composer Yasuhide Ito Diferencias on an Old Spanish Song and music by Czech-born composer Václav Nelhybl Symphonic movement. Dynamic passages in forte alternated with slow dark movements. Listeners were thus constantly on the alert as to what note from what instrument would be heard. We were then replaced on stage by our American colleagues, who maintained a pleasant atmosphere in the hall and played the final part of the concert.
Our next performance will be in Prague again, this time in Žofín Palace, but we will inform you about it in more detail. We are already looking forward to it and we hope that you are too.
