The festival dates back to 1992 and is the first festival of its kind in the Czech Republic. It responds to the constant interest of listeners in concerts of sacred music thematically connected with the liturgically significant period of Easter.
The Easter Festival of Sacred Music remains a unique international project on the Central European scale dedicated exclusively to sacred music with an emphasis on exploratory and interesting dramaturgy and excellent performances.
The key dramaturgical starting point is the very proximity of the most important Christian holidays. Among other things, the festival focuses on the line of discovering unjustly neglected works and actively acts as the initiator of new spiritual compositions.
The festival takes place every year in two weeks between Květná and Bílá Sunday and is situated in Brno's churches.
The Easter Festival of Sacred Music is a member of the Czech Association of Festivals (CAF).
