Event description:
The Prague Film Orchestra, a symphonic musical ensemble founded by conductor Jiří Korynt and Zdeňka Koryntová in 2004, has specialized throughout its existence in concert performances of film, television, musical, and video game music. Throughout each season, the ensemble performs in concert halls, cultural centers, and movie theaters, primarily in the Czech Republic and also in Slovakia. The orchestra, typically made up of 70 musicians and led by conductor Jiří Korynt, places great emphasis on maximum authenticity in the interpretation of each piece.
With an extensive and continuously expanding repertoire of several hundred titles, the orchestra performs works by famous composers such as John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein, Bernard Hermann, Howard Shore, Alan Silvestri, Hans Zimmer, John Powell, David Arnold, and many others. Compositions and suites from films such as the Star Wars saga, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Stargate, The Magnificent Seven, Psycho, Back to the Future, The Avengers, Pearl Harbor, and more are staples in their concert programs.
The carefully selected programs also regularly feature one or more premieres. Due to its wide genre range, which is almost unlimited, everyone can find something they enjoy at their concerts. The Prague Film Orchestra, with its mission to bring the beauty and diversity of film music closer to audiences, also broadens its loyal following by performing in more intimate settings, such as with the PFO Strings, the PFO Sextet, and the Pop Symphony dance orchestra.
While more intimate, these performances are by no means less impactful; on the contrary, the emotions associated with the films are powerfully conveyed to the audience. Whether attending a concert by any of the PFO formations, you will take away an unforgettable experience delivered by an energetic ensemble with its unique style. Discover the magic of film music in a pleasant, fun, and engaging manner—only with PFO.
