Jakub Hrůša live in Prague

Experience Jakub Hrůša live on May 25th

Jakub Hrůša is a Czech conductor internationally recognized for his insightful interpretations of both standard repertoire and lesser-known works, particularly those of Czech composers. His conducting style is often described as possessing a clarity of texture and a strong narrative drive, emphasizing emotional depth alongside technical precision. He frequently champions music from the 20th and 21st centuries, but also excels in performances of classical and romantic pieces.

The concert on May 25, 2027, will be held at Smetana Hall within Prague’s Municipal House (Obecní dům). Completed in 1912, the Municipal House was conceived as a representative cultural centre for Prague, intended to rival Vienna’s similar institutions. Designed in the Art Nouveau style by a collective of leading Czech artists, it showcases decorative arts including paintings, sculptures, and stained glass.

Smetana Hall itself is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and opulent interior. It serves as the home base for the Czech Philharmonic orchestra and hosts a wide range of classical music concerts throughout the year. The hall's design incorporates elements inspired by nature and utilizes gilded ornamentation extensively, creating a visually striking performance space.
