Rescheduled date at Gong
The concert will take place on Wednesday, 11 November 2026 at the multifunctional hall Gong in Dolní Vítkovice. This is a rescheduled date for the performance originally planned for 22 October 2025, which was cancelled due to Vojtěch Dyk's illness. Tickets already purchased remain valid. The concert is part of the Gong Janáček Philharmonic cycle and will last approximately 90 minutes.
The Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava was founded in 1954 and holds concerts at Gong that connect the symphony orchestra with popular music. Gong was created by converting a gas holder built between 1922 and 1924, which stored up to 50,000 cubic meters of purified blast furnace gas until 1998. The reconstruction was designed by architect Josef Pleskot, and the first events were held here in 2012. The main hall has 1,509 seats, and on the ground floor, you will find the Dolní Vítkovice Information Centre and the Gong Gallery.
