David Koller and Prague Philharmonia at Rock for People 2025

On Saturday, June 14, 2025, at 11:30 AM, Czech music legend David Koller will perform with the Prague Philharmonia orchestra on Stage B, the second largest stage at the Rock for People festival. This unique fusion of powerful rock vocals with a classical orchestra promises an exceptional musical experience, sponsored by Komerční banka.

Prague Philharmonia regularly returns to Rock for People thanks to its long-term partnership with Komerční banka – following previous collaborations with Vypsaná fixa, Clarinet Factory, and their own Cover Band, the orchestra has prepared an ambitious project this year. David Koller has curated a special program featuring greatest hits from both his solo career and the band Lucie, which will be performed in original symphonic arrangements.

"David Koller is an incredibly creative person who has devoted maximum effort to preparing the concert program," says Jindřich Pavliš, clarinetist with Prague Philharmonia and project organizer. "The arrangements were tailored specifically for the orchestra and created by leading Czech and Slovak composers – Michal Nejtek, Tono Popovič, Roman Pallas, and Jakub Zítko. The baton will be taken up by young talented conductor Petr Sedlák, a graduate of the Royal College of Music in London," adds Pavliš.

"Rock for People is one of the largest music festivals in Central Europe, and I'm delighted that we can be part of it with Komerční banka for the ninth time. This year, we're particularly proud of the unique concert that brings together Prague Philharmonia and David Koller, offering visitors an unforgettable musical experience. I'd also like to invite everyone to the KB Future Fest Zone, where visitors can enjoy innovative and interactive experiences. The collaboration between Komerční banka, Prague Philharmonia, and David Koller proves that together we can create exceptional projects that connect art, music, and technology," says Eliška Puškášová, sponsorship and events manager at Komerční banka.
