An international treasure and an extraordinary musical adventure, the Czech National Philharmonic was founded in 1908, during which the orchestra performed its first concerts under the direction of Bohuslav Martinů. In 1945, it was reconstituted after the World War II and awarded the title of ‘National’ Philharmonic. The orchestra is famous for performing the works of Dvorak, Smetana, Martinů, Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart and Schubert.

Over the course of its existence, the Czech National Philharmonic Orchestra has developed an extremely extensive and varied repertoire. Focuses mainly on the great composers of world music of the 19th and 20th centuries, however, it also promotes contemporary Czech and world music, as evidenced by the performance of more than 250 new compositions. The orchestra also ranks among the authentic interpreters of the classics of Czech national music culture: Antonín Dvořák, Bedřich Smetana, Leoše Janáček a Bohuslav Martinů.

The Czech National Philharmonic has had legendary composers and conductors, including Gustav Mahler, Vítězslava Kaprálová, Josef Suk, Václav Neumann, Karel Ančerl, Herbert von Karajan, as well as Michael Gielen, Jean Martinen, Manfred Honeck, Elijahu inbal, and Bela Bartok, to name but a few of the international conductors who have collaborated with the orchestra.
