Tagesbote aus Böhmen 04/03/1854 reported that Proksch [Prokš] would this year again be giving a cycle of musical productions presented as ‘three Matinées’ and ‘three Soirées’. Performed would be ‘Trios, Quartets and Quintets for piano in company with string instruments and played by Messrs Professors Goltermann, Pisařowitz, Pepperl and Bartak [probably the violinist and teacher Čeněk Barták]. The Matinées Musicales take place on 5th, 19th March and 2nd April at 4.30pm (they had earlier been announced for 12 noon, but this was problematic for the participants). The Soirées take place on 12th, 26th March and 8th April at 6pm at the Institute.’ Tagesbote subsequently published news only of the final Matinée in these series.
Tagesbote aus Böhmen 12/3/1854 reported that ‘In today’s Soirée musicale of Mr J. Proksch will be participating Miss Janda and Mr Rerking. In the programme appear the following names: Mozart, Beethoven, Weber, Mendelssohn and others, which guarantees a very pleasant evening.’ Although the report did not specify a venue, that of Proksch’s Institute has been incorporated into the database record; the annual soirées given by the Institute invariably took place at the locality.
