Prague Philharmonia (PKF)

If you love classical music, do not miss concerts by the Prague Philharmonia (Pražská komorní filharmonie – PKF), one of the best orchestras in the Czech Republic. The Prague Philharmonic holds concerts of classical music not only in Prague but also takes part in festivals all over the Czech Republic and regularly performs abroad where it has gained great reputation. World-renowned conductor Jiří Bělohlávek, under whose leadership the orchestra quickly developed into one of the best Czech orchestras, formed this top orchestra in 1994. The current conductor and music director of the Prague Philharmonia is Jakub Hrůša. The PKF has had long-term success with both critics and audiences alike. This success has been confirmed also by many recording contracts for major international labels. The concerts of this young orchestra, whose average age is 34 years, take place in various concert halls all over Prague. You can find out about the current program of the PKF from its website mentioned below. It is also worth mentioning that as the first orchestra in the Czech Republic the PKF started holding special concerts for children and their parents, which are very popular and Rudolfinum's Dvořák Hall is regularly sold out. At the children's club Notička designated for children between 4 and 13 years that was created by PKF as another activity for children, children learn to know musical instruments, meet musicians and develop other esthetic skills such as drawing and theatrical activities.
