Crocodile Orchestra

The Crocodile Orchestra will mark November 17th with a celebratory concert at the Besední dům. Commemorate the Day of the Struggle for Freedom and Democracy and International Students' Day with a special concert at the Besední dům in Brno. The Crocodile Orchestra will join forces with renowned soloists—pianist Igor Ardašev and violinist Milan Al-Ashhab—to present an exceptional musical evening dedicated to the legacy of the events of November 1939 and 1989. The program will open with Suk’s *Meditation on the Old Czech Chorale "St. Wenceslas,"* a symbol of national unity. This will be followed by Mendelssohn’s *Concerto for Violin, Piano, and String Orchestra in D minor*, in which the virtuosity of the two soloists will blend with the energy of the young musicians. The celebratory evening will culminate in Suk’s *Serenade in E-flat major*, bringing an atmosphere of hope and optimism to the Besední dům. Join us to reflect on the values of freedom and democracy through music and celebrate November 17th alongside a new generation of musicians.
