History

The musical history of this ensemble, composed of students from a private university founded in the 19th century, dates back to the 1920s. These young musicians are visiting the Czech Republic for the fifth time, and once again they will be performing the music of Antonín Dvořák, whose work is extremely popular in Japan. They will perform Dvořák’s Carnival Overture, Op. 92, which will open the evening with its energy and colorfulness. The program will also feature Music for Symphony Orchestra by Japanese composer Yasushi Akutagawa, which clearly reflects the influences of Dmitri Shostakovich and Sergei Prokofiev. The concert will conclude with Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73, a work full of lyricism and optimism that represents one of the pinnacles of Romantic symphonic composition.
