Zkoušet za osobní přítomnosti skladatele je pro nás vzácné. Ale není to nemožné! Zvlášť když je jím náš rezidenční skladatel této sezony, Bryce Dessner. ✨
.
It’s rare that we get to rehearse with the composer personally present. Rare – but not impossible. Especially when the composer also happens to be our composer-in-residence this season. ✨

Je to symfonická báseň, obraz přírody coby tichého svědka lidského bytí, je to drama i tiché rozjímání.
Je to violoncellový koncert Trembling Earth, neboli Chvějící se země. A takto zní v podání Anastasie Kobekiny, pro kterou byl napsán. 💙
.
It’s a symphonic poem – a portrait of nature as the silent witness to human existence. At times, it’s quiet contemplation; at others, it’s full of drama.
It's Bryce Dessner's cello concerto, Trembling Earth, played here by Anastastia Kobekina, whom it was written for. Listen in. 💙
Konzerthaus Berlin’s composer in residence Bryce Dessner brings together friends from across his musical universe for a special evening of musical collaborations at Konzerthaus’ Kleiner Saal.
Luminous French folk singer Mina Tindle headlines the set, performing songs from her hugely successful new album Compass Rosa.
She is joined on stage by Bryce and critically-acclaimed folk artist Kate Stables (aka This Is the Kit).
Meanwhile renowned soloist James McVinnie performs Bryce’s solo piano works as well as selections from Bryce’s Academy Award-nominated score to Train Dreams, and is also joined on stage by string quartet Quatuor Zaïde.
Meanwhile multi-instrumentalist Benjamin Lanz and Olivier Marguerite weave their magic throughout to complete the line-up. Bridging genre boundaries, this concert promises an intimate, unforgettable experience.

Do známých vod jsme se s Jakubem Hrůšou vypravili ve skladbách Josefa Suka. 🌊 Rozbouřené pobřeží Anglie a Kalifornie na nás čekalo v mořských preludiích z opery Peter Grimes a v české premiéře Carolyn by the Sea, kde nás doprovodily kytary Bryce Dessnera a Davida Chalmina.
A velká vlna radosti se v nás vzedmula na konci večera – s potleskem našich posluchačů! 💙

With Jakub Hrůša, we sailed the familiar waters of Josef Suk's work. 🌊 The stormy coasts of England and California awaited us in the sea interludes from the opera Peter Grimes and in the Czech premiere of St. Carolyn by the Sea, accompanied by the guitars of Bryce Dessner and David Chalmin.
And at the end of the evening, a great wave of joy swept over us – carried by the applause of our audience. 💙

Thank you to the Society of Composers and Lyricists for honoring Bryce Dessner’s work in Train Dreams with the award for Outstanding Original Score for an Independent Film.
„Myslím, že hudba se málokdy rodí v izolaci. Vzniká ve společenství,“ říká Bryce Dessner.
Do společenství, ve kterém se tento týden rodí hudba, patří kromě něj i David Chalmin, Jakub Hrůša a několik desítek členů našeho orchestru. 🎶 Přijďte si poslechnout, co společně vytvoří. Od 19:30 vysíláme živě na našem YouTube. ✨
.
“I think music is rarely born in isolation. It comes into being when we work together,” says Bryce Dessner.
Some of those working together this week are Bryce Dessner himself, David Chalmin, Jakub Hrůša, and dozens of members of our orchestra. 🎶 Come and listen to the music they create. Tune in to our livestream at 7:30 pm on the Czech Philharmonic YouTube channel. ✨

Dvě elektrické kytary, jež v rámci orchestru přebírají roli harfy nebo klavíru a rozehrávají šumy, šplechy a šelesty mořských vln, ty, které kdysi slyšel i Jack Kerouac v Big Sur… 🌊
Dvě elektrické kytary Bryce Dessnera a Davida Chalmina. Pod taktovkou Jakuba Hrůši. A dost bylo jmenování, jen poslouchejte. 🐚

Two electric guitars, which take on the orchestral role of a harp or a piano, echoing the hums and splashes and rumbles of the sea, the very sounds Jack Kerouac once heard in Big Sur… 🌊
Two electric guitars, played by Bryce Dessner and David Chalmin. Conducted by Jakub Hrůša. And that's enough introductions, just listen. 🐚
Dreams come true.
Nick Cave and The National’s @brycedessner were nominated for Best Original Song for “Train Dreams,” the theme from the remarkable film of the same name (Cave wrote the lyrics, and they both wrote the music). The first-time nominees face stiff competition, including “Golden” from ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ and “I Lied to You” from ‘Sinners.’
