Rising star conductor Jakub Hr暖拧a presents an all-Czech concert with the 大象传媒 SO and the 大象传媒 Singers. Smetana's evocative tone-poem Ma vlast sits alongside Martin暖's Field Mass - written in 1939 at the start of World War Two and written for outdoor performance - and Suk's Prague. This is music of protest, anger and national pride.
