Hudební festival Znojmo
The Znojmo Music Festival brings its audience a wide range of musical styles and types, connects the seemingly incompatible and breaks down the boundaries between genres. However, the unifying element and goal of the entire festival is to achieve the maximum possible quality and authenticity in all concerts and productions. The axis of the festival is the staging and performance of opera or ballet works in several reruns. Each year is characterized by a tight dramaturgy. All concerts and other accompanying events are held in a unified spirit.

Letní slavnosti staré hudby
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.
