The Prague Spring will celebrate 2011, the Year of Mahler, in grand style. The coming season of the Festival promises to be a show of the best orchestras in the world and Mahler’s ‘unperformable’ Symphony of a Thousand will also be performed. This year’s opening concert will also be special. The President of the Festival, Jiří Bělohlávek, will lead the Prague Conservatoire Symphony Orchestra. For these young students of music this will surely be an extraordinary way to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the founding of their school.
