Concerts for the Year of Czech Music

On May 20 and 21, the Czech National Concert Band performed in five concerts titled “Treasures of Czech Music.” Four of the concerts were designed as educational programs for children, and the final one was a gala concert in Přelouč for the general public. The concerts were organized by NIPOS Artama in cooperation with the Přelouč School of the Arts.

The orchestra played under the baton of its chief conductor, Václav Blahunek. The soloist for the concerts was soprano Eliška Tomeňuková.

The first two concerts took place in the Suk Hall of the House of Music in Pardubice, and on the second day, the orchestra moved to the Civic Hall in Přelouč. Nearly one thousand listeners, mostly young people, attended the concerts. The program featured works by Bedřich Smetana, Antonín Dvořák, and Bohuslav Martinů.

The Czech National Concert Band thanks NIPOS Artama for their significant assistance in preparing these exceptional concerts.
