New Year’s Eve concert by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra
Its name might suggest that the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra is a municipal orchestra; nevertheless, it has a worldwide reputation. It releases more than 200 recordings each year and not only in the field of classical music. Musicians from the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra collaborate with famous directors recording music for films and advertisements. Their music has been used on sound tracks accompanying the Indiana Jones trilogy, Jurassic Park and Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita. Despite its busy agenda, the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra always finds time to say goodbye to the year with a concert held in Prague, featuring a selection of the best classical music compositions.
