Recognized as one of Europe’s first-rank symphonic ensembles and renowned for its versatility, the Czech National Symphony Orchestra makes a triumphant return to the Moss stage under the baton of music director Steven Mercurio. 

Having wrapped up its 30th anniversary tour in 2023, which included the ensemble’s Carnegie Hall debut, the orchestra is joined by dynamic guest soloist Maxim Lando, an American pianist and winner of the 2022 New York Franz Liszt International Competition, to perform two of the most beloved works from the Romantic repertoire — Antonín Dvořák’s famed Symphony no. 9, From the New World, and Liszt’s monumental Piano Concerto, no. 1. 

This performance will last approximately 90 minutes with one intermission. 
*Run times listed here are based on information provided at this time and are subject to change. 

The Czech National Symphony Orchestra first performed at the Moss Arts Center in 2019. This is Mercurio's and Lando's first performance at the center.

This performance is supported in part by gifts from Minnis and Louise Ridenour and Ellen and Leo Piilonen.
