The Czech National Symphony Orchestra (ČNSO or CNSO), founded in 1993 by trumpet player Jan Hasenöhrl, is one of the premier symphonic ensembles in the Czech Republic. This organization, known for its versatility and musical prowess, is based in Prague and has quickly established itself as a vital player on the international music scene. Over the years, the CNSO has collaborated with a plethora of esteemed conductors and soloists, expanding its repertoire from classical to more contemporary genres, mirroring the diversity seen in their recent releases.
Their broad range of performances and recordings include not only traditional works but also ventures into the realms of film scores, such as John Williams: Movie Magic, and cross-genre adaptations like the orchestral versions of popular hits "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "X Gon' Give It to Ya." The orchestra's dedication to musical excellence is showcased in the complexity of pieces such as "Maria," "Singularity," and "Death & Transfiguration, Metamorphosen." Meanwhile, their interest in reviving lesser-known works is evidenced by their release of Pasquale Anfossi's Sinfonie & Ouverture. The CNSO continues to contribute meaningfully to both the Czech and global music scene, balancing the celebration of classical tradition with the embrace of modern musical dynamics.
