Four world premieres in one evening are promised by this concert of two representatives of the contemporary school of composition in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

She profiles herself as an arranger and composer for all genres. She has been a finalist in numerous competitions, including the Cory Brass Band Composition Prize (Cardiff, UK) and the River City Brass Composition Prize (Pittsburgh, USA).

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.
