VENUE NOTE:
The Czech Philharmonic first ventured to Asia on a legendary tour in 1959. Since then, it has returned as often as every two years whenever possible. In fact, the orchestra has already performed 373 concerts in Japan. It discovered South Korea in the 1990s and made its debut in Taiwan in 2019. This time, the programme will feature works by Ravel, Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, Smetana, and Dvořák, led by Chief Conductor Semyon Bychkov.
