An unconventional combination of soft philharmonic strings with clarinet, treading rhythm and leading jazz singer Elena Sonenshine – that’s SWINGharmonie. More than half of the band is made up of members of the Czech Philharmonic, supplemented by musicians from other Prague orchestras. The ensemble’s repertoire includes mainly well-known swing melodies of the 20th century, but also classical music in a swing guise.
Ticket prices: CZK 200
The organiser reserves the right to changes in the list of scheduled performers.
You can listen to the entire concert series live on Czech Radio’s D-dur station – a nationwide radio station broadcasting classical music.
