2015 New Year's Concert——Janáček philharmonic Ostrava
2015 New Year's Concert Tour: December 2014-- January 2015
In 1929, it was founded as a radio ensemble, thus becoming an important part of the Czechoslovakian musical scene. For major period scores (Bartók, Schönberg) it was joined by the opera orchestra, often also in case of guest appearances of significant conductors and composers, such as Igor F. Stravinsky, Sergei S.Prokofiev, and also Paul Hindemith, who grew fond of Ostrava and visited repeatedly.
It was in 1954, however, when the current ensemble was really founded, when Ostrava Symphony Orchestra was established and led by Otakar Pařík. Since 1962, it performed as Státní filharmonie Ostrava (led by Václav Jiráček), and in 1971, led by a longtime chief conductor Otakar Trhlík, its name was changed to the current form Janáčkova filharmonie Ostrava (Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava). During the whole of its existence Janáčkova filharmonie Ostrava was often invited to tours abroad, besides other countries in Europe mainly to the USA, Japan, China, Australia or South Korea.
Janáčkova filharmonie Ostrava has given a number of guest performances at various international music festivals. Besides the already mentioned conductors also other major Czech and foreign guests performed with the JFO, such
as V. Neumann, V. Smetáček, J. Bělohlávek, L. Pešek, Z. Mácal, V. Válek, P. Altrichter, J. Hrůša, J. Valčuha, Ch. Mackerras, S. Baudo, H. Rilling, M. Jansons, V. Fedosejev, I. Fischer, H. M. Förster etc. And also other significant soloists performed with the JFO, such as P. Domingo, J. Carreras, M. Caballé, B. Hendricks, E. Urbanová, S. Richter, I. Moravec, J. Suk, A. Navarra, M. Rostropovič,
P. Šporcl, S. Nakarjakov, R. Baborák, J. Boušková, D. Ishizaka and a number of other masters of their disciplines.

Current performances of the orchestra are strongly influenced by two recent significant chief conductors – Christian Arming and Theodore Kuchar, and also influence of Petr Vronský should not be omitted. The result is an overall plasticity and colorfulness of sound with clear elements of the Slavonic mentality audible mainly in the softness of the strings.
JFO is the first among Czech orchestras in performing contemporary works, including those requiring a big number of artists, often as Czech premieres, mainly thanks to conductor and composer Petr Kotík. For example the guest appearance of JFO at Prague Spring 1999 in huge Stockhausen’s Gruppen for three orchestras became legendary; the performance in the Spanish Hall of the Prague Castle was so successful that the demanding, almost thirty-minute long composition had to be played again.
Among other regularly-played authors are John Cage, Morton Feldman, and Iannis Xenakis. The home hall of the Philharmonic is Dům kultury města Ostravy. In 2014, the orchestra celebrates 60th anniversary. The orchestra opens the season with a new management (Jan Žemla became the director in 2012), new visual style, morediverse offer of concert activities, and a new concert hall in a multi-purpose Gong hall in Dolní oblast Vítkovice.
