Czech Philharmonic Orchestra

HarrisonParrott has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra for more than 12 years and is delighted to be collaborating with them on some future projects in Europe and Asia. Tours in 2001 with Vladimir Ashkenazy included concerts at the Lucerne Festival, the BBC Proms, Beethovenfest Bonn and a tour of the UK as well as a 20 concert tour of south-east Asia, including China, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong. Under the direction of Sir John Eliot Gardiner, the Orchestra travelled to the Salzburg Festival where they were resident during summer 2001. Highlights of 2002 included performances at the Barbican London, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, la cité de la musique Paris and tours of Italy and Spain. At the end of 2002 the Orchestra, under Yakov Kreizberg, gave a 12-concert tour of Japan.

Vladimir Ashkenazy took the Czech Philharmonic on a 14 concert tour of the USA in 2003 and the Orchestra returned to the US a year later, this time with Andrey Boryeko at the helm. The Orchestra collaborated with Sir Charles Mackerras in 2004 at the BBC Proms and at the Musikverein, Vienna. Prior to that they toured Japan in 2003 with Vaclav Macal and Jean Fournet as well as performing Vladimir Ashkenazy’s "Music under Dictatorship" Project in Cologne (4 concerts), at Carnegie Hall (3 concerts) and at the Konzerthaus Vienna (2 concerts). The orchestra returned to the Salzburg Festival in 2004 with Gerd Albrecht.  HarrisonParrott is delighted to be taking the Czech Philharmonic and Claus Peter Flor to China in November/ December 2011 with soloists Akiko Suwanai and Mengla Huang including two performances at the prestigious NCPA in Beijing followed by concerts in Shanghai, Xian and Macau.
