Trumpeter Jiří Houdek joins the Collegium of the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra under the artistic direction of Pavel Sochůrek for an evening dedicated to the brilliance and elegance of Baroque music. The program features iconic works that continue to inspire with their majesty, melodic richness, and rhythmic vitality.
