Overview

Music feast between the international chief executive and five great composers.

The Principal Violin Solo Concert of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra integrates the music of these five great composers, dancing together in the ocean of notes, feeling the shock of the soul, letting the power of music ignite the flame of the soul, and letting the melody of the piano sound ripple in the world. The long river of time.
 
Conductor of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra: Jan Mracek
Czech violinist Jan Mracek was born in 1991 and has been the concertmaster of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra since 2017. He began studying violin at the age of 5 under the tutelage of former Vienna Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Jan Pospichar. As a teenager, he achieved great success, winning numerous music competitions. He was the youngest winner of the Prague Spring International Music Festival Competition in 2010, and in 2011 became the youngest soloist in the history of the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra. In 2014, he won first prize at the Fritz Kreisler International Violin Competition in Vienna.
 
Jan Mracek's earliest collaboration with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra originated from his invitation by Czech conductor Jerzy Belolovic to perform in three concerts held by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra in the Vienna Musikverein. Bellolovic originally planned to invite Yang to perform three Dvořák concerto concerts in Prague as a soloist and conduct them personally. Unfortunately, the master passed away in 2017, and the three concerts were turned into performances in memory of the master.
 
Jan Mracek is a member of the Lobkowicz Piano Trio, which won the First Prize and the Audience Award at the Brahms International Competition in Austria in 2014. His recordings of Dvořák's Violin Concertos were critically acclaimed. Most recently, he recorded works by Milan Mihajlovic with the Brandenburg State Symphony Orchestra in Germany, conducted by Howard Griffith. He recently performed Prokoev's Violin Concerto No. 1 with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Petr Altrichter, winning the Prague Classical Music Award for Best Concerto (a week later he recorded the work with the Brak Radio Symphony Orchestra) .
 
Jan Mracek plays a 1905 Enrico Rocca violin previously owned by Oscar Shumsky.
  
Famous Czech pianist: Lukas Kolansky

Lukasz Kolansky is one of the most promising young Czech pianists. The winner of numerous competitions, he is a sought-after soloist and chamber musician. He is a member of the Lobkowicz Piano Trio, winner of the 2014 Brahms International Competition in Austria. Lukas collaborates with leading Czech orchestras and conductors. Lukasz Kolansky is also a frequent guest at major art festivals such as the Prague Spring Music Festival.
 
Lukas Kolansky was born in 1989. At the age of 15, he collaborated with the Prague Chamber Orchestra and held his first concert at the Dvořák Concert Hall in Prague, performing Mozart's Piano Concerto in F major.
 
From 2004 to 2010 he studied at the Prague Conservatoire with Professor Eva Boguniová. He then completed his studies at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, where he studied under his father, Professor Ivan Klánský. His musical style was influenced not only by his mentors, but also by Martin Kasík and the famous pianist Garick Ohlsson.
 
In addition to the Czech Republic, he has also held tours in Slovakia, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Croatia, Slovenia, Greece, Poland, Turkey, South Africa and other countries and regions. His music albums are released by Praga Digitals, Radiosedrvis, Gramola, Naxos, etc.

Guangzhou Opera House is a Chinese opera house in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, People's Republic of China. Designed by Zaha Hadid, it opened on the 9th of May in 2010.

In April 2002 an international architectural competition attracted Coop Himmelb(l)au, Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid – each producing detailed designs. In November 2002, Zaha Hadid's "double pebble" was announced the winner and the groundbreaking ceremony was held early in 2005.

The theatre has become the biggest performing centre in southern China and is one of the three biggest theatres in the nation alongside Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts and Shanghai's Shanghai Grand Theatre. May 2010 saw American filmmaker Shahar Stroh direct the premiere production of the opera house: Puccini's opera Turandot which had in previous years been a controversial opera in China.

The structure was designed by Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. It is conceived as two rocks washed away by the Pearl River. Its freestanding concrete auditorium set within an exposed granite and glass-clad steel frame took over five years to build, and was praised upon opening by architectural critic Jonathan Glancey in The Guardian, who called it "at once highly theatrical and insistently subtle."
