In the next ten years, Haydn's music festivals intend to present the work of the main musical "nations" or regions within the individual festival years, which contributed to the formation of classicist musical language, which soon established itself as a universal musical language used worldwide. This dramaturgical principle will significantly enrich the existing principles (focus on compositional anniversaries, regional musical sources, great major works of the classicist era). The intention of the organizers is to dedicate 40-50% of the festival's concert performances to musical "nations".
Italy has a decisive position among these nations. Therefore, the 29th year of the festival (2021) will be dedicated to Italian and Italian-inspired music of the 17th and 18th centuries. Italian musical inspiration has dominated world music for more than three centuries, culminating in the period of classicism (16th - 19th centuries). It was the Italian composers at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries who formulated a new way of compositional work, based on more intensive work with musical material. Thanks to this, new musical genres saw the light of day in the Italian environment, which then dominated the next centuries (concert, symphonies, etc.), some others then gained new developmental inspiration (sonata, opera, etc..).

Horn Fest
Prague
Festivals|Classical
Horn Fest was created on the initiative of the Czech horn player Radek Baborák, who would like to take this step to contribute to the more than 300-year-old tradition of the Czech horn game. The unifying element of the whole festival is therefore the French horn. As part of the Horn Fest, listeners will be able to listen to the various positions of this instrument, support a diverse instrumental cast and genre, as well as a very varied program. They will be able to see for themselves that the French horn is not just an instrument of love, but mainly a melodic instrument with an infinite number of color scales, just a great understanding of both wind instruments and strings!
This festival, organized by the Prague Spring, is dedicated to the celebration of the piano and the figure of the greatest Czech pianist of the 20th century, Rudolf Firkušný, who was also very closely connected with the Prague Spring.
The Early Music Summer Festival is the largest and longest-running early music festival in Prague. Since 2000, the festival has been the gateway through which top foreign performers flow to the Czech Republic, playing originals or copies of historical instruments while maintaining the highest demands for perfection of performance, which we are used to with modern instruments.
The thematically elaborated dramaturgy of individual years presents a number of compositions in modern premieres, not only in the Czech but also often in a global context. The festival is unique in its overlap with Baroque theater and dance. One of the advantages of the festival is the connection of beautiful architecture with music of appropriate styles.
Concerts and performances held regularly, for example, in the Břevnov Monastery, Troja Castle, Rudolfinum, the Lobkowicz Palace, in the interiors of lesser-known Prague churches and other Prague historical spaces.
The festival is a member of the European REMA network and is a proud holder of the prestigious EFFE Label 2017-2021 and the "exceptional festival" label.
