The prestigious international festival Jazz Goes to Town brings to the classical music concert halls and untraditional stages of Hradec Králové jazz in all its forms.

The dramaturgy of the festival features top local and foreign musicians, new jazz projects and beginning players. The 24nd edition wants to continue the high standards of this musical event and mediate the wide spectrum of jazz art to the city residents and visitors from outside. The diversity of jazz styles, the fusion with other artistic genres, and themed accompanying programmes are what make the autumn atmosphere in Hradec Králové so singular and enticing.

The festival programme is presented at various venues across the Hradec Králové city centre. In addition to concert halls, theatres and music clubs the performers will also appear in bars and cafés as well as in untraditional industrial or sacral venues.

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.
