Mozart and Dvořák with András Schiff

Dvořák is Sir András Schiff’s passion, but Mozart defines him. As soloist and conductor, he leads the Chamber Orchestra of Europe in works by both composers.

For many, Mozart is pure sunshine—but Dvořák may have been the first to put it that way. Nearly a century separates these two composers, yet bringing their music together serves as a reminder that boundless melodic playfulness, combined with masterful compositional technique, transcends time. It works in every era, every style, every political climate, and every mood.

The Chamber Orchestra of Europe and Sir András Schiff will frame two of Dvořák’s serenades with two of Mozart’s piano concertos. The programme will reveal that a serenade is much more than a light-hearted diversion—it can carry the profound insight of a great symphonist. Likewise, a piano concerto need not be just a formal showcase for the king of instruments within a symphonic setting; it can be an unbroken stream of energy and joy.

As one of the most revered pianists of our time, Sir András Schiff is a benchmark interpreter of Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach. His performances set the highest musical standards, and his return to the Dvořák Prague Festival is always among the most anticipated highlights.
