Royal Czech Orchestra (chamber cast)
The beginnings of the Royal Orchestra date back to the second half of the 17th century, to the reign of Leopold I, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, who was a generous patron of the orchestra and a praiseworthy composer himself. The orchestra was re-established after the Velvet Revolution of 1989. Today, the Royal Czech Orchestra consists of the most highly acclaimed professional musicians to be found in the Czech Republic.
