The concerts are held in cooperation with the Bohuslav Martinů Days Festival and with the financial support of the Bohuslav Martinů Foundation.

At this year’s Velvet Revolution Concert, three fantastic younger generation artists will take centre stage. Violinist Josef Špaček performs music by Suk, and Antoine Tamestit will play Martinů’s Rhapsody-Concerto on the very first viola made by Antonio Stradivari. Petr Popelka returns for the second time to conduct the Czech Philharmonic, and rounding off the Czech programme are works by Smetana and Janáček.
