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.

The civic association MLADÁ PRAHA - INTERNATIONAL MUSIC FESTIVAL has set itself the goal of helping promising young beginning artists in the field of classical music - instrumentalists, singers, chamber ensembles, conductors, but also composers. We want to facilitate the beginnings of their artistic career through concerts at the international level and enable the establishment of friendships with young musicians from all over the world.

Thus was born the idea of ​​founding an international music festival. The initiators, representatives of the International Music Society in Munich (IMGM - Internationale Musikgesellschaft München) decided in 1990 to locate it in Czechoslovakia and chose the name Mladá Praha. In 1992, at the turn of August and September, the first festival took place with the participation of artists of eight nationalities from Peru to Japan. During 1992, a Japanese committee of the Young Prague Festival was also established in Tokyo with the task of selecting the most interesting young musicians from Asia. Thanks to the constant support of Japanese companies permanently operating in the Czech Republic, the Ministry of Culture and several sponsors from the Czech Republic, whose support we greatly appreciate, it has been possible to hold twenty-five years of the festival. In total, over 900 young artists from most European countries, as well as from the USA, Canada, Peru, India, Mexico, China, Korea and Japan performed at more than 350 concerts. In addition to soloists, a number of orchestras and choirs performed here.
