Classical music bears a strong tradition in the Czech Republic and is symbolised by Antonín Dvořák. According to a recent survey that we commissioned from the agency Ipsos in March 2026, 98% of Czechs are familiar with Dvořák.

Jan Simon, director of the Dvořák Prague International Music Festival, has been elected president of the Czech Association of Music Festivals (AHF ČR).

The 19th annual Dvořák Prague Festival offers a programme that combines the tradition of Antonn Dvořák with an international outlook and the energy of the finest contemporary performers from across the globe.

February can be a strange month. Winter is losing its charm, spring is still nowhere to be seen and our energy levels often can’t keep up with daylight. In moments like these, music has the unique power to transform the atmosphere.

Classical music doesn’t have to be confined to gala evenings in concert halls. At the Dvořák Prague Festival, we believe that the Festival is a vibrant community of people – and that you can be part of it, too.

For the New Year, we wish you good health and happiness, as well as many unforgettable experiences, with music continuing to inspire and uplift us all.
