High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rudolf Pekarek (1900 – 26 October 1974) was a Czech-Australian conductor. In 1934 he founded the Prague Symphony Orchestra, giving work to many unemployed musicians. It was known as the FOK Orchestra (Film – Opera – Konzert), or the FOK Salon Orchestra or sometimes Pekarek's Salon Orchestra. At the beginning the ensemble made its living by intensive recording of music for films, and only later changed its focus to presenting the standard repertoire in concert. It first played on radio on 29 December 1934. As a Jew, Pekarek was imprisoned in 1942 during the German occupation during World War II. He survived the war and in 1948 he emigrated to Australia. In 1954 he became chief conductor of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, a post he held until 1967. He died in 1974, in Brisbane. The annual Rudolph Pekarek Oboe Prize at the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University was established in his honour, the prize money being paid from his estate.
