To bring the most exciting performance, the orchestra often collaborates with renowned professional musicians.

In 2013 the orchestra visited The University of Cambridge, UK, with its ‘Jewels of Czech music’; a varied selection of pieces from famous Czech composers. After a 2016’s joint concert with Collegium Musicum―a visiting student orchestra from RWTH, Aachen―taking place in Prague, The CTU Orchestra was invited to perform in Aachen in 2017, marking another successful international appearance. Two domestic concerts stand out in 2018, including the famous New World Symphony by Antonin Dvorak, and W. A. Mozart’s Requiem.

The orchestra is currently rehearsing for upcoming concert hosted, for the second time, by The University of Cambridge in April 2019.

The event has been taken under the auspices of Mrs. Denise Waddingham, the Director of British Council Czech Republic, Mr. Libor Sečka, the Ambassador of the Czech Republic in the UK, and Mr. Guy Roberts from the Prague Shakespeare Company.
