An international treasure and an extraordinary musical adventure, the Czech National Philharmonic was founded in 1908, during which the orchestra performed its first concerts under the direction of Bohuslav Martin暖. In 1945, it was reconstituted after the World War II and awarded the title of 鈥楴ational鈥 Philharmonic. The orchestra is famous for performing the works of Dvorak, Smetana, Martin暖, Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart and Schubert.
Over the course of its existence, the Czech National Philharmonic Orchestra has developed an extremely extensive and varied repertoire. Focuses mainly on the great composers of world music of the 19th and 20th centuries, however, it also promotes contemporary Czech and world music, as evidenced by the performance of more than 250 new compositions. The orchestra also ranks among the authentic interpreters of the classics of Czech national music culture: Anton铆n Dvo艡谩k, Bed艡ich Smetana, Leo拧e Jan谩膷ek a Bohuslav Martin暖.
