With sincere gratitude we wish to inform you about a unique act of cultural solidarity of our American friends to the Czech Mozart Society, which is experiencing serious problems due to the maltreatment by the Municipality of Prague 5, the Czech Museum of Music and the former tenant of Bertramka K. Muzikář. They finally returned this historical monument to the Mozart Society in December 2009. It had taken 18 years of litigation to achieve this. Sadly, before the hand-over the above mentioned bodies applied an unnecessary measure of revengefulness and left Bertramka in a state „like a building abandoned by the Soviet troops“.
