Winning ‘Orchestra of the Year’ in the 2024 Year of Czech Music – celebrated by arts organisations across the Czech Republic every decade since Bedřich Smetana’s 100th birthday in 1924 – is especially poignant. The Orchestra’s contribution to the Year of Czech Music began with the release of Smetana’s Má vlast conducted by Chief Conductor and Music Director, Semyon Bychkov and, will conclude with three concerts at New York’s Carnegie Hall. Orchestra of the Year is the only one of the Gramophone Awards which is decided by public vote, and highlights ensembles who have produced exceptional recordings during the previous year.
