Three weeks ago, the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of its chief conductor Steven Mercurio, performed the concert Heroes in Pictures, fittingly on the 80th anniversary of the end of the greatest armed conflict in human history.

Now we will have the privilege of playing a series of soundtracks from memorable films documenting the heroism at Prague Castle, at the request of President Petr Pavel and his wife Eva.
