Rising star conductor Jakub HrΕ―Ε‘a presents an all-Czech concert with the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ SO and the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Singers. Smetana's evocative tone-poem Ma vlast sits alongside MartinΕ―'s Field Mass - written in 1939 at the start of World War Two and written for outdoor performance - and Suk's Prague. This is music of protest, anger and national pride.
