Radek Baborák to perform with State Philharmonic Košice

Renowned horn player and conductor Radek Baborák will perform with the State Philharmonic Košice on October 22, 2026, at the Dom umenia. The concert, titled ‘Lesný roh a tance Strednej Európy’ (French Horn and Dances of Central Europe), features works by Mozart, Ravel, Bartók, and Kodály.

A centerpiece of the program is Reinhold Glière’s Concerto for Horn and Orchestra in D major. Baborák noted that while romantic concertos for the horn are rare, Glière’s work is a significant exception due to its musical contrasts and physical demands. He intends to present a new version of the first movement's cadenza during the performance.

The event includes a morning rehearsal at 10:00, a pre-concert discussion at 18:00 in the Small Hall, and the main concert at 19:00.
