Even before the 19th and 20th centuries and the eras of Smetana and Dvořák, Janáček and Martinů, the Czech nation made a significant contribution to the story of European music. Many outstanding composers of the Viennese Classics era moved from Bohemia to the capital of the Habsburg Empire (such as Florian Leopold Gassmann, Josef Mysliveček and Johann Baptist Vanhal), while Czech wind instrument players were also renowned throughout Europe. This concert will feature a Mozart masterpiece related to Prague and a symphony from an outstanding Czech composer, either side of a trumpet concerto.
