Czech Philharmonic led by guest conductor Jakub Hrůša to honor Jiří Bělohlávek

The Czech Philharmonic, led by guest conductor Jakub Hrůša, will honor former chief conductor Jiří Bělohlávek at a concert in Prague’s Rudolfinum on Wednesday evening.

Bělohlávek, who died in 2017, would have turned 80 this February.

The program will feature two works by Josef Suk: the concert overture “A Winter’s Evening Tale” and the suite from the play “Radúz and Mahulena.” Hrůša has long focused on Suk’s music and regularly performs it in the Czech Republic and abroad.
