Prague Spring 2027 Programme

Twelve hands at two pianos, percussion instruments, a pulsating rhythm and a world premiere commissioned by the Prague Spring from composer Jana Vöröšová. This is what the concert, performed by the best graduates of the MenART Academy, will be like.

John Adams on the conductor’s rostrum and the Vienna Philharmonic performing his music exclusively! The Czech premiere of the piano concerto After the Fall played by Grammy Award holder Víkingur Ólafsson.

After an absence of seventeen years, Anne-Sophie Mutter returns to the Prague Spring to perform together with Muriel Razavi and Kian Soltani the Czech premiere of the triple concerto Arch of Light by Iranian composer Golfam Khayam.

Face to face with one of the most influential figures on the contemporary world music scene, whose music blends sophisticated soundscapes with vulgarity, and profound introspection with black humour.

Bread and salt: two masterpieces by Enno Poppe, Prague Offspring’s Composer-in-Residence 2027, and four world premieres of works commissioned by the Prague Spring.

What’s the best way to take down your musical ideas so that the musicians understand them and are able to get them across to the audience? Ensemble Modern in dialogue with aspiring composers as they focus together on brand new scores.

Composer and member of the Prague Spring Artistic Board in conversation with his guests about contemporary music.

Can music be corporeal? You’ll find the answer in a world premiere and in an essential work by Enno Poppe, Körper, in which Ensemble Modern is transformed into a big band.

Bassoonist Michaela Špačková, the holder of the “Podium für junge Talente” award in the ARD Competition will walk unseen between the aircraft at the NTM exhibition. Together with your ticket you will also receive a Beethoven pass featuring a range of experiences.
