The Prague Philharmonia, known in Czech as PKF – Prague Philharmonia, is one of the leading orchestras not just within the boundaries of its home nation, but on the international stage, celebrated for its precision, lively performances, and the distinctive interpretation of classical and contemporary repertoire. Founded in 1994 by the renowned Czech conductor Jiří Bělohlávek, the orchestra quickly established itself as a foremost ensemble, distinguishing itself through its focus on Bohemian classical music, while also excelling in the broader European repertoire, from baroque to contemporary compositions. The PKF – Prague Philharmonia boasts an impressive discography that showcases its versatile range, including masterful interpretations of works by Penderecki, Dvořák, Ravel, Debussy, Bizet, Saint-Saëns, Gershwin, Beethoven, and many more.

Throughout its dynamic history, the Prague Philharmonia has embarked on numerous international tours, performing in some of the world’s most prestigious concert halls, and has worked with a plethora of distinguished soloists and conductors, enhancing its reputation as a versatile and adaptive ensemble. Beyond its regular concert season, the orchestra is committed to recording, with recent releases covering a wide spectrum of musical periods and styles, from opera arias to symphonic poems and concertos. These recordings not only display the technical skill and emotional depth of the ensemble but also underscore the Prague Philharmonia's mission to breathe new life into well-known classics, as well as to introduce audiences to lesser-known works deserving of wider recognition.
