A similar report, listing the programme in the same order, was published by Národní listy 15/6/1863. This source reported that the performance by the Society would be followed by a garden concert in which would be performing the band of the First Artillery Regiment [of Franz Josef I], the band of [the infantry regiment of Wilhelm I] the King of Prussia, the band of Archduke Sigismund, and the band of the 29th battalion of Dragoons. The report noted that if the weather was not pleasant then the concert would take place two days later on 22/6/1863 at 5pm inside the Žofín hall. Meyerbeer’s Krönungsmarsch, written for Kaiser Wilhelm I, was reported, as in Prager Morgenpost, as receiving its première [in Prague].
