The annual international music festival Moravian Autumn gets underway this Sunday in the Moravian capital of Brno. This year’s edition marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sir Charles Mackerras, the world-renowned British conductor and lifelong champion of Czech music.
The opening concert of the 53rd Moravian Autumn Festival will begin with William Walton’s lively overture Portsmouth Point, a piece inspired by the bustle of a noisy harbour and often described as a real challenge for conductors.
