Programme

The Dvořák Collection, one of the Festival’s most distinctive program series, is a long-term, focused dialogue with the legacy of Antonín Dvořák. Through this series, the Dvořák Prague Festival systematically and meticulously explores the composer’s oeuvre in all its breadth, placing emphasis on quality and continuity and on performers who bring his music to life vividly and compellingly. In the 2026 season, this exclusive series turns its attention primarily to Dvořák’s songs, in which his musical language touches human emotion with particular immediacy. Song cycles and chamber music performances create space for quiet reflection, focused listening and a personal experience with the music, enabling audiences to encounter Dvořák not as a monumental figure of music history, but as a deeply human composer. The Dvořák Collection thus offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the work of the composer whose name the Festival bears, and to rediscover his music in its most sensitive and straightforward form.
