Parnas Quintet

The Parnas Quintet is a wind group made up of top players from the ensembles of the National Theatre in Brno and the Brno Philarmonic. Its repertoire focuses mainly on music by Czech composers, and one of the first works ever performed by the group was today’s quintet by Pavel Haas. However, they also skilfully juxtapose masterworks by Czech composers with hits and perennial favourites from the international core repertoire for quintets.
