Alternativa festival is an annual show of bold, creative and dense music. Ever since the early 90s, with one of longest traditions among comparable Prague events, the festival endeavours to form an alternative to unified line-ups of commercial festivals and to discover yet unknown connections between foreign and local artists. Having originated as a means to present the most proclaimed personas of experimental, freejazz and improvisation scene, Alternativa has proceeded to introduce both legends and cult artists beside flourishing newcomers of local and global music scene. Alternativa strives to search for new angles in the music context and to step out of established boundaries.
Among dozens of foreign artists, which have performed often for the first time in Czechia, we can find number of interesting names such as saxophonist John Zorn, Polish folk renaissance Księżyc, industrial legends Test Dept. and Laibach,American diva Lydia Lunch, post-jazz formation Polar Bear, the cult band Magma, metal innovators Amenra, Dirge of Celeste or the selection of Norwegian avant-garde scene Supersilne and Deathprod. The festival has lately presented also the most contemporary arists working with electronics – Beatrice Dillon, Ewa Justka or Pharmakon.
One of the distinctive features of the festival are commissioned, unique shows – over the years, it has become a tradition that many musicians meet on the stage during their Prague show in unexpected and never-repeated combinations. As well as providing a stimulating platform for local independent promoters being asked to curate a festival night. This responsibility has been give to Jednota, Genot Centre, Wrong, Heartnoize, Punctum or BCAA System. The variability of festival venues and the programming team, emphasis on sustainable growth and open-mindness of external influences are qualities which are pushing Alternativa festival towards another decades of existence and authenticity.

We are a free and independent festival for free and independent artists and festivalgoers. We don’t subscribe to any genre and are only open to showcasing sensitive, dynamic as well as uplifting projects with a similar philosophy to our own.

The International Music Festival Concentus Moraviae is a unique curatorial concept of program preparation. It is primarily focused on classical music with an overlap with other genres and with a strong accent on early music, to which is the biennial dedicated. Every year the organizers address a new dramaturge with a strong program vision, so the festival always focuses on a new topic and is highly appreciated for its contribution to the field. The theme of each year reflects important musical anniversaries as well as current music and social trends. Not only significant personalities of Czech musical life (Barbara Maria Willi, Jiří Beneš, Aleš Březina, Václav Luks, Zdeněk Cupák, etc.), but also foreign musicologists (Jelle Dierickx, Walter Labhart, Tully Potter, Andrea Marcon, Markku Luolajan-Mikkola, Pierre Pitzl, Carine Moretton, etc.).

The international music festival Czech Touches of Music is among the seven greatest festivals of classical music in the Czech Republic. Its aim is to offer audiences valuable musical experiences while listening to top repertory compositions as well as interesting compositions that are not performed so frequently. The festival’s dramaturgy has a unique concept based primarily on classical music, namely orchestral, chamber and recital works, and ancient music. The popular series is represented by crossover concerts. The festival regularly introduces special programme projects – exclusive concerts as part of the cycles entitled Prague Castle Music, Gems of Russian Music, Music of the V4 Countries, Concert for Children and Parents, and multi-genre projects involving literature, film, the creative arts and architecture. It is the only Czech festival to have its own eponymous festival orchestra with the artistic leader, violinist Pavel Fischer. It is the festival’s long-term dramaturgical intention to look for interesting and infrequently performed music and also to present music by Czech composers of the latter half of the 20th century as well as contemporary composers, as a follow-up to the tradition of the founding personalities of modern Czech music – Leoš Janáček and Bohuslav Martinů. The festival regularly provides opportunities for younger generations of musical interpreters and for the introduction of compositions by composers under 35 years of age, along with already renowned artists and orchestras.
