Our concert Hollywood Night is always highly favoured and requested by our audiences. This year, to avoid disappointing them, we are again performing our highly acclaimed concert at the international music festival Prague Proms. We’ve prepared an assortment of iconic film melodies from the movies Pink Panther, Bullitt, Whiplash, Forrest Gump, Ghostbusters and The Band. Alongside this, we’ll be performing the unforgettable hits of composer Ennio Morricone.
Each concert is a beckoning for us, a chance to carefully select the dramaturgy and the performers to make it a truly magical night. For this event, we’ve invited two Czech soloists, Simona Hulejová and Ondřej Izdný. Introducing themselves alongside the two soloists will be the vocal sextet SKETY, who performed last year at the Prague Proms Festival in a concert which premiered in the Loop Jazz Club. The concert will also feature distinguished international performers, like the Jeremy Winston Chorale, a world-famous and award winning gospel choir. In 2012, the group was invited by President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle to perform at the White House. This success is not by any means a surprise, as the individual singers within the group manage to perform outstanding vocal feats at every concert they are in.
We are sure that we will surpass all expectations for this year’s audiences and we promise a glorious encore at our listeners’ request. The full concert will be directed by the chief conductor of the CNSO, Steven Mercurio, who was a student of legendary composer Leonard Bernstein. Mr Mercurio is both an expert in film scores and an audience favourite, respected by our Czech and international listeners.
