Dubbed "Dvořák and his disciples", the Cairo Symphony Orchestra will perform works by Leoš Janáček, Antonín Leopold Dvořák and Josef Suk.

The programme includes Idyll for String Orchestra by Janáček followed by Dvořák's Violin Concerto in A minor, Op. 53 with Yasser El Serafi as the soloist.

In the second half of the evening, the orchestra will perform Suk's Pohadka - 'A Fairy Tale' - Opus 16, an Orchestral Suite.

The Czech composers have become part of the standard elements of the repertoire of the Cairo Symphony Orchestra this season, fact which can be linked to Jiří Petrdlík who became the orchestra's principal conductor and artistic director.

Saturday 13 October at 8pm - Cairo Opera House Main Hall, Cairo

Sunday 14 October at 8pm - Alexandria Opera House (Sayed Darwish Theatre), 22 El-Horreya Road (formerly known as Fouad St.), El-Raml Station, Alexandria
