Named after the 20th century Czech composer, the women's wind ensemble chose the name after winning the prestigious Viktor Kalabis Prize. When such an ensemble plays Kalabis' Divertimento, it is a historically informed interpretation. The central work in the Images and Music series, however, can be none other than Pictures at an Exhibition.

Kalabis Quintet

National Gallery Prague

Friendship between women is a topic that is often reflected upon today. The third chamber concert belongs principally to women – not only to women performers but also to women composers. The women's ensemble Kalabis Quintet will premiere Wind Quintet No. 1 by the contemporary Czech composer Kateřina Horká. Another work to be performed tonight is Wind Quintet by British-Czech composer Geraldine Mucha, daughter-in-law of painter Alfons Mucha, who was married to the writer Jiří Mucha.
