The Who’s Who of Classical Music and Jazz
In 2010, the Prague Spring Music Festival once again offers a large number of classical and jazz concerts, performed by brilliant, world-class artists and renowned chamber orchestras. The 65th Prague Spring Festival this year is dedicated to celebrations honoring Bohuslav Martinů on the 120th anniversary of the composer’s birth. It also launches the Gustav Mahler celebrations, marking the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth this year.
World-famous soloists such as mezzo-soprano Olga Borodina, who has performed at opera houses in Vienna, La Scala in Milan, Covent Garden in London and the MET in New York, will appear in the Czech Republic as part of the 65th Prague Spring International Music Festival 2010. Many other leading figures from classical music and jazz will also take part, including John Eliot Gardiner, the renowned British conductor and choirmaster, who has become a leading authority in his field thanks above all to his outstanding performances and recordings of classical music. He will demonstrate this at the Prague Spring International Music Festival. These are just two of the dozens of outstanding artists appearing at the 65th Prague Spring International Music Festival.
