The Junior Philharmonic Concert Series annually includes an evening dedicated to soloists from two Slovak music academies. It is an attraction for the audience thanks to its exceptional dramaturgy, but also a challenge for the participating performers. The recorded selection from the concert featured violinist Anabela Patkoló (Academy of Performing Arts) accompanied by the Slovak Philharmonic under the direction of conductor Peter Valentovič, and the premiere of Ultima Ritualia for large orchestra, Op. 33 by composer Martin Lang.
