The Rudolf Firkušný Piano Festival will open in Prague with a concert featuring renowned pianists Evgeny Kissin and Sir András Schiff.

Kissin and Schiff will perform together for the first time, playing works by Mozart, Schumann, Smetana, and Dvořák. The festival will also feature Grigory Sokolov, known for his unique interpretative style, and Canadian-Chinese pianist Bruce Liu, who replaces Lukas Sternath due to health issues. Czech pianist Marek Kozák will also perform, representing local talent.
