Hallelujah is a concert series that places serious and lighter music side by side. A chamber ensemble and its soloists perform well-known classical works in an unconventional way, which makes the evening a good choice for anyone who enjoys classical music but would like to hear it in a fresher, more relaxed form.
The programme draws on major composers: the overture to Verdi's "Nabucco", Handel's "Let the bright Seraphim", Mendelssohn's oratorio "Elijah" and Mascagni's Intermezzo sinfonico. It continues with songs from Mahler's "Des Knaben Wunderhorn", Musetta's aria from Puccini's "La Bohème", music from Bernstein's "West Side Story" and Bock's "Fiddler on the Roof", and Janowski's "Avinu Malkeinu". Kálmán's "Heia in der Bergen" is also on the list. The highlights are two famous songs in chamber arrangements: Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.
The concert suits listeners who like classical music and are open to a less formal approach. Because the programme is mostly instrumental and sung works by well-known composers, no knowledge of Czech is needed to follow it.
