Jan Hasenöhrl & Lots of Friends

ABOUT

During this era, we have had the opportunity to meet a great number of Czech and international performers, and our cooperations have subsequently turned into lifelong friendships. We value these friendships immensely. This is why we have decided to create a concert dedicated to these relationships, entitled the Jan Hasenöhrl & friends concert for our supporters. Our audience members will be able to listen to a selection of great music in the Smetana Hall of the Municipal House, and feel the magical effects of this music, which really brings people together.

In the words of host Jan Hasenöhrl: “I am very much looking forward to this concert, because, as the name suggests, I will see a lot of my old friends on stage. In forty-five years of working in the industry, there have been quite a few of them, especially during the three decades of the CNSO's existence. The concert is a look back over the years and the people I was lucky enough to meet and play with."
