The 13th concert of the Nazdoravi Philharmonic

This concert will feature Dvoják's famous cello concerto as the main soloist, and two fine, little-known Czech pieces in the first half of the concert.
The two pieces by Weinberger and Suk will be accompanied by a pipe organ, so you will be able to enjoy the magnificent sound of the two pieces.
No tickets or numbered tickets are required for this free performance.
Please feel free to come and enjoy a stroll around the Aviation Park 🎶.
We look forward to seeing you there!

The Nazdoravi Philharmonic Orchestra

　The Nazdravi Philharmonic was founded in 2007 by a group of amateur musicians who love Czech beer and Czech music. The name "Nazdravi" means "toast" in Czech.

　The orchestra strives to create a conceptual program for each concert, and actively features works by Czech composers who are rarely performed in Japan, such as Wenceslav Novák, Oskar Nedvall, Julius Huciuk, Václav Váčkáš, Clement Slavický, Jakub Jan Riba, and many others. The orchestra will actively feature works by
　The orchestra will be led by Masanori Saeki, a great admirer of Maestro Wenceslas Neumann. His conducting style, backed by his love for Maestro Wenceslas Neumann, is very appealing.

　The orchestra has been accomplishing the Dvořák Symphony Cycle Project, and the performance of Symphony No. 1 "The Bells of Zlonice" on January 18, 2009, which marked the start of the cycle, was a memorable opportunity for the orchestra to perform the piece for the first time in Japan.
