Travelogue 1608

Kryštof was adventurous by nature; he had to be courageous and determined when he set out on such a long journey. He also showed his courage and creativity when he came back home to this country, where he was able to win the favour of Emperor Rudolf II. Even 400 years later, we can take inspiration from this important nobleman.

Steps to the New World • A Cycle of Concerts With Commentary

Our concerts with the Czech Philharmonic Youth Orchestra tend to be voyages of discovery. We often attempt (figuratively) to get inside composers’ heads to see how they thought when writing a particular work, or we look for the important crossroads that were decisive for the form a work would take. But above all, we discover the music itself. After all, classical music does not have to be something remote (to the contrary, it can be one of the kinds of music closest to us) if we open ourselves up and devote real interest and attention to it. And if we like it at least a little bit. Then we always find more in it than we might expect.
