The British Pegasus Chamber Choir will perform under the direction of Matthew Altham. The concert will feature organ accompaniment by Martin Toyer and will take place in a new concert venue at the Church of the Brethren in Soukenická Street.
The Pegasus Chamber Choir from London is one of the most distinguished British vocal ensembles of its generation. Under the artistic direction of Matthew Altham, the choir specialises in repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary music, with a particular focus on sacred works and modern compositions. Pegasus regularly performs at prestigious festivals in the UK and abroad and collaborates with leading orchestras and media, including BBC Radio and Classic FM.
Matthew Altham studied choral conducting at the University of Oxford, where his interests included the music of Francis Poulenc and English Renaissance masters. Alongside his professional career in education and development, he serves as conductor of the Pegasus and Vox Cordis choirs and the London Bach Players. He has conducted concerts across Europe, including performances in Prague, Toulouse, Arezzo and Antwerp.
A special highlight of the concert will be the organ accompaniment by Martin Toyer, a highly respected British organist who has collaborated with the Pegasus Chamber Choir for over thirty years. Toyer was Organ Scholar at Brasenose College, Oxford, and served for eleven years as Director of Music at Our Lady’s Church in St John’s Wood, London. He has performed in major cathedrals and churches throughout Europe.

The Doshisha University Orchestra is one of the most prestigious and oldest youth orchestras in Japan.
The musical history of this ensemble, composed of students from a private university founded in the 19th century, dates back to the 1920s. These young musicians are visiting the Czech Republic for the fifth time, and once again they will be performing the music of Antonín Dvořák, whose work is extremely popular in Japan. They will perform Dvořák’s Carnival Overture, Op. 92, which will open the evening with its energy and colorfulness. The program will also feature Music for Symphony Orchestra by Japanese composer Yasushi Akutagawa, which clearly reflects the influences of Dmitri Shostakovich and Sergei Prokofiev. The concert will conclude with Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73, a work full of lyricism and optimism that represents one of the pinnacles of Romantic symphonic composition.
Conductor: Mr. Riku Okamoto
Antonín Dvořák – “Carnival” Overture, Op. 92
Yasushi Akutagawa – Music for Symphony Orchestra
Johannes Brahms – Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73

Program: works by well-known European and American composers
The music department at Iowa City High School has long been one of the most respected high school programs in the United States.
The concert will feature a string orchestra, choir, and wind orchestra—led by experienced teachers and active musicians. The string orchestra, conducted by Megan Stucky-Swanson, will offer a stylistically diverse program ranging from Baroque-inspired works (Handel) to the English tradition (Peter Warlock, John Rutter) to contemporary American compositions. The program sensitively combines dance energy, lyrical melodiousness, and colorful string sounds.
The wind orchestra will present a representative cross-section of contemporary American wind band literature. Compositions by Robert Sheldon, Samuel Hazz, Patrick Roszell, and David Maslanka combine symphonic breadth, rhythmic vitality, and distinctive melodic invention, showcasing the high level of interpretation of these young musicians.
The choir, led by Matt Walker and Rachel Meehan, is known for its collaboration with leading figures on the world choir scene. The final joint performance of “Battle Hymn of the Republic” will bring together all the performers in a symbolic finale that will highlight the community dimension of music education and the energy of the young generation of American performers.
