High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Prague Symphony Orchestra (Prague, Czech Republic) was founded in 1934 by Rudolf Pekarek. In the 1930s the orchestra performed the scores for many Czech films, and also appeared regularly on Czech radio. An early promoter of the orchestra was Dr. Vaclav Smeta?ek, who, in 1942 became the orchestra's chief conductor, a post he held for the next 30 years. The orchestra has traditionally been known by the acronym FOK, standing for Film-Opera-Koncert, reflecting the orchestra's fields of activity as envisioned by its founder. When the city of Prague made the orchestra its official concert ensemble in 1952, it retained the acronym, giving it the official title Symphony Orchestra of the Capital City of Prague - FOK. The orchestra has travelled extensively in Europe, Japan, and the United States, and has recorded for many different labels. Since 2006, the orchestra's chief conductor is Ji?i Kout.
