Viktor Kalabis

Viktor Kalabis (27 February 1923 – 28 September 2006) was a Czech composer, music editor, musicologist, and husband of harpsichordist Zuzana Růžičková.

Eventually, Kalabis got work in the children's music section at Prague Radio, where he established the Concertino Praga competition for young musicians.

For stage, he wrote the Fable for chamber orchestra and the two-part ballet score Dva světy (Two Worlds), inspired by Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
