Cycle SK offers eight chamber concerts which, apart from local string quartets ( the Moyzes Quartet and Pressburger Quartet), also includes guests like the Bennewitz Quartet from the Czech Republic and instrumental soloists from abroad: flutist Vladislav Brunner and the Slovenian clarinetist Darko Brlek. The individual concerts are unified by a common motto- to commemorate the anniversaries of revered composers e.g.
The chamber cycle of Ancient Music is traditionally distinguished by specific programs which are thematically orientated at the repertoire of the 17th and 18th century with the accent on important composer`s anniversaries and specific musical periods of different countries. The concert Hommage à Boccherini pays tribute to the 200th year of death of the Italian composer and double bass player Luigi Boccherini (1805).
The Family Concerts by the Slovak Philharmonic, mainly intended for children, has been enjoyed by a wide audience for the past ten years.
Cycle J, the so-called Junior Concerts, has been functioning for a few years with the intention of attracting mainly the younger generation. Here, young orchestral players and soloists show off their interpretational abilities under the leadership of experienced conductors.
The special concerts are truly magnificent: the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra, the Slovak Philharmonic Choir, the Symphony Orchestra of the Slovak Radio, the Bratislava Boys Choir and elite Slovak opera singers with programs intended for the periods around Christmas, New Year and Easter will be performed. The touching and festive atmosphere created by the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra and Bratislava Boys Choir in the Christmas Carol Concert is always a favourite choic
The subscription concert cycle for lovers of chamber orchestra music has remained unchanged since the previous concert season.
The Slovak Philharmonis has prepared a new elite cycle of six concerts at the most popular times under the heading World Artists. The cycle guarantees the finest interpretational mastery, introducing the outstanding artistic personalities. Paul Badura-Skoda is one of the most exceptional pianists of the present time. This legendary artist has performed in the biggest concert halls and for many years had the largest number of piano recordings on the market.
The core of this cycle is formed by the presentation of important vocal-instrumental works by composers from the Classical and Romantic periods and music from the 20th century. We are confronted with the works of Johann Nepomuk Hummel, born in Bratislava, on a more or less sporadic basis. The performance of his cantata Polymelos op. 82, inspired by Russian national songs, will therefore be all the more special.
