The exhibition, which follows a series of successful showcases on topics such as Czech Egyptology, the literary legacy of Franz Kafka, and a century of Czech radio, is prominently featured along the wall of the Czech Embassy at Dokki Street.

This event marks a significant celebration of the Year of Czech Music.

"This exhibition intricately examines the harmonious connections between Czech composers and Egypt's vibrant cultural landscape,” said Tereza Svaskova, the exhibition’s producer.

“Through thoughtfully curated quotes and engaging illustrations, it highlights the lives, achievements, and enduring legacies of the most celebrated Czech composers, whose works have successfully crossed geographical boundaries and continue to resonate on a global scale," Svaskova added.

The exhibition pays homage to the lasting impact of Czech classical music, which echoes beautifully in concert halls from Prague to Cairo.

"We gather here not merely to appreciate the beauty of the music but also to deepen our understanding of its creators and the essence of Czech identity," said Ivan Jukl, the Czech ambassador to Egypt.

He further expressed his admiration for Antonín Dvořák, revealing that he is his favourite composer, a sentiment shared by many music enthusiasts.

Open to the public until 25 October, the exhibition invites visitors to immerse themselves in the rich heritage of Czech music.
