On Thursday 4 February, the Czech Philharmonic will present the first of its own live-streamed concerts on Facebook. Chief Conductor and Music Director Semyon Bychkov conducts music by Mendelssohn and Bryce Dessner with soloists Katia et Marielle Labèque.

In addition to being co-hosted on Semyon Bychkov’s Facebook page, the live-stream – available for a week after the broadcast – will also be shared on the Facebook pages of Classic FM and all the European halls – Vienna Konzerthaus, Paris Philharmonie, Brussels’ BOZAR, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw and the Barbican in London – that would have made up the Orchestra’s European tour this month. All subscribers to the halls will also be given the chance to watch the stream in 4K via the Czech Philharmonic’s YouTube channel.
