This event builds on the success of the inaugural Visegrad Jazz Summit 2024, held in Přerov, Czech Republic. The successful realization of the second edition requires thorough individual and collective preparation. All performers will gather two days before the opening concert for intensive rehearsals of the selected repertoire. The rehearsal process will include at least two focused sessions aimed at fine-tuning the ensemble’s performance to ensure a memorable, cohesive, and artistically rich experience for the audience.
Concert Programme Structure:
Part 1: Premiere of the three winning compositions by young composers.
Part 2: Announcement of the competition results, presentation of the winners, and awarding of financial prizes.
Part 3: Performance of five original compositions by members of the orchestra.
This dramaturgical structure ensures that young composers receive a prominent platform at the beginning of the concert to showcase their new works. The second part celebrates their achievements, while the final section highlights the creativity and virtuosity of the orchestra's professional members through their own compositions. This balanced format fosters intergenerational dialogue and artistic exchange, offering the audience a diverse and compelling musical experience.
