The Czech Philharmonic caps its Advent series with a fine showing of homegrown talent and a memorable Christmas gift.

At the Eurasia Festival, the RAI Orchestra provide a thoroughly memorable evening of Italian music spanning a century.

The Czech Philharmonic performing Mahler’s Second Symphony at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall equals great expectation. The composer and symphony have historical links to the orchestra and venue alike. Could Bělohlávek deliver?
