Fantastic Soundscapes in the Freedom Hall: A Symphony Concert Full of Colors, Tension and Virtuosity
On Friday, February 19, 2027, the Festsaal of the Freedom Hall Hof will become a resonance space for great orchestral art. The Hof Symphony Orchestra presents its 6th Symphony Concert of the 2026/27 season under chief conductor Martijn Dendievel with Josef Špaček as soloist performing the Violin Concerto by Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky.
An Evening that Captivates Immediately
The opening alone promises goosebumps: Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35, is among the most colorful and demanding works in the repertoire. The solo part requires technical brilliance, buoyant elegance, and a fine sense of timbre. Josef Špaček brings exactly this mix, complemented by the calm and precision that makes a great live experience unforgettable.
Ravel as a Master of Subtle Explosions
After the intermission or further along, Maurice Ravel's ballet suite Ma Mère l’Oye opens another sound window. Here, transparency, orchestration, and floating lines take center stage. Ravel draws images with a subtle hand that literally begin to glow in the concert hall. Those who love the live atmosphere of a finely-tuned symphony orchestra will experience a play of colors, dynamics, and quiet sophistication.
Dutilleux and the Art of Fine Details
With Henri Dutilleux’s Le Loup, the program includes a rarely played yet impactful sound space. The work combines fairy-tale motifs, dramatic culminations, and orchestral precision. Under Martijn Dendievel, the music unfolds that blend of tension, elegance, and rhythmic clarity that a modern symphony concert thrives on.
Josef Špaček: Soloist with International Profile
Josef Špaček was concertmaster of the Czech Philharmonic until the end of the 2019/20 season, being the youngest concertmaster in the history of the orchestra. In his solo career, he impresses on major stages in Europe, Asia, and the USA. His recordings have been awarded or recognized by The Sunday Times, MusicWeb International, Gramophone, and BBC Music Magazine, among others. For Hof, he brings not only virtuosity but also musical depth and stylistic sovereignty.
