The Prague Symphony Orchestra FOK traditionally marks Czechoslovak Independence Day with a concert featuring Smetana’s cycle of symphonic poems My Country (Má vlast). The concert takes place every year on October 28 in the Smetana Hall of the Municipal House where Czechoslovak independence was declared in 1918. The FOK has been performing this magnificent opus for the Republic for sixteen years. This year’s Concert for the Republic by the Prague Symphony Orchestra FOK will be conducted by its new chief conductor, Tomáš Netopil.
