Prague Symphony Pops Orchestra (SOPS)
The Prague Symphony Pops Orchestra ("Salonní orchestr pražských symfoniků" - SOPS) was founded in 1985 by members of the Prague Symphony Orchestra FOK to fill a void in the Prague musical community for a highcalibre orchestra performing both light classical and ballroom dance music. Since its premiere engagement, the SOPS has performed on special occasions and international meetings for dignitaries such as Vaclav Havel, as well as at the balls celebrations in the greater Prague area.
