The concert was opened by Ambassador Petr Válek, who thanked the President of the Pilsen Region for his excellent cooperation and all the support for the event.

Afterwards, the tones of the violin resounded through Pavillon Joséphine. Jaroslav Svěcený presented the audience with a recital "Famous European Violins", during which compositions by Bedřich Smetana, Antonín Dvořák and Nicola Paganini were played. The whole concert was in the spirit of the history of master violins. The audience was presented with a unique collection of violins from the 17th century onwards, and the most known exhibit was certainly the Italian violin by Antonio Stradivari.
