Winners of Sapphire Pegasus Awards
During a spectacular Gala Dinner Event in Prague on April 28th, this year’s winners of the Sapphire Pegasus Awards were announced and honored.
In the impressive environment of the renaissance palace style Boscolo Luxury Hotel, the well-versed master of ceremonies of the evening London Toastmaster, Richard Birtchnell moderated his way with words of honor and excitement. The attending guests were entertained by Magician Michal Sindelar who performed magic tricks right before their eyes and fooled their minds with hands as quick as a lightning flash. They were also treated by the musical framework of Harpist Zbynka Solcova who amongst others gave a solo interpretation of the famous symphonic poem ‘The Moldau’ of the Czech classic composer Bedrich Smetana.
