A river that rises and makes its way through landscapes and stories: this is how Bedřich Smetana's famous tone poem "The Moldau" unfolds. With a majestic flow and dancing lightness, it tells of the beauty of its homeland - of rustling forests, rural festivals and mysterious nights. This musical centerpiece forms the focus of an evening dedicated entirely to Bohemian Romanticism. "The Moldau" is framed by other masterpieces that transform the soul of Bohemia into sound: Smetana's lively overture to "The Bartered Bride" and his nature idyll "From Bohemia's Grove and Field", Antonín Dvořák's lyrical romance for violin and orchestra and Josef Bohuslav Foerster's autobiographical tone painting "Mé mládi - My Youth". A celebration of the Bohemian soul - poetic, passionate and full of musical color.
