The Prague Spring Debut has become one of the most highly anticipated festival concerts, when the eyes of both the public and the critics are focused on the debut performance of a young male or female conductor at the Prague Spring: these artists will stand before a major orchestra for the first time, demonstrating their proficiency and talent to their audience. In 2025 the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra will be conducted by Czech conductor Jan Sedláček, last year’s winner of the Karlovy Vary Symphony Orchestra’s Conducting Competition. In a programme combining the music of Leonard Bernstein, Sergei Prokofiev and Antonín Dvořák, they will be joined by Japanese violinist Tsukushi Sasaki, winner of the Prague Spring International Music Competition 2024.
