Prague Summer Nights – jump in

Ondřej Soukup stepped in at 24h notice with the Prague Summer Nights Festival  Orchestra to replace the festival’s Artistic Director John Nardolillo. 

The orchestra composed of professionals from US orchestras, as well as students from across the globe, performed Mahler’s Blumine, Dvořák’s Eight’s Symphony and Brahms‘ First Symphony. Ladislav Kozderka from the Czech Philharmonic played the prominent trumpet part in Blumine. Their concert at the Mahler-Jihlava festival on 30th June was met with a standing ovation by the entire audience.
