In the next ten years, Haydn's music festivals intend to present the work of the main musical "nations" or regions within the individual festival years, which contributed to the formation of classicist musical language, which soon established itself as a universal musical language used worldwide. This dramaturgical principle will significantly enrich the existing principles (focus on compositional anniversaries, regional musical sources, great major works of the classicist era). The intention of the organizers is to dedicate 40-50% of the festival's concert performances to musical "nations".
Italy has a decisive position among these nations. Therefore, the 29th year of the festival (2021) will be dedicated to Italian and Italian-inspired music of the 17th and 18th centuries. Italian musical inspiration has dominated world music for more than three centuries, culminating in the period of classicism (16th - 19th centuries). It was the Italian composers at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries who formulated a new way of compositional work, based on more intensive work with musical material. Thanks to this, new musical genres saw the light of day in the Italian environment, which then dominated the next centuries (concert, symphonies, etc.), some others then gained new developmental inspiration (sonata, opera, etc..).

The Antonín Dvořák Music Festival boasts a long tradition, during which its organizers managed to establish it among high-level cultural events and, in the venues, of paramount importance. It was established in 1969 on the initiative of the Antonín Dvořák Society (then chaired by Dr. Karel Mikys) and the District Cultural Center in Příbram, to which the Ministry of Culture promised financial support at the time. And the support was by no means small, because at that time it made it possible to invite such orchestras as the Czech Philharmonic, the FOK Symphony Orchestra of the Capital City of Prague, the PKO, the Slovak Philharmonic or the Film Symphony Orchestra. During these years, however, the festival also included a number of excellent ensembles from abroad. The people of Příbram were also able to witness top performances such as the Leningrad Philharmonic and the Moscow State Philharmonic, and last but not least, the Warsaw State Philharmonic or the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra London with conductors Mark Emler, Charles Groves, Arvid Jansons and Dimitri Kitajen. After 1989, however, similarly as in the whole cultural sphere, significant organizational changes took place here. Since 1990, the organization Příbram Theater has taken over its organization, where (perhaps) due to the lack of financial resources, the festival stuck to three to five concerts, mostly only chamber music.

Festival Klášterní hudební slavnosti je mezinárodní hudební festival s tradicí, který svou vysokou dramaturgickou a uměleckou úrovní zaujímá místo jednoho z nejvýznamnějších a nejzajímavějších hudebních festivalů současnosti, na Moravě se již tímto superlativem může v daném období pochlubit beze zbytku. Jak již z názvu vyplývá, koncertuje festival především v sakrálních skladbách nebo v prostředí, která jsou s církevními institucemi historicky nějakým způsobem spojena (kostely, bývalý nebo i současný majetek církví apod.), ale nevyhýbáme se i občasnému vybočení, ať už z důvodu kapacity, organizace nebo podmínek.
O věhlasu akce, ale také o zájmu posluchačů svědčí i fakt, že se návštěvnická úroveň rok co rok zvyšuje. Festival je nejenom pevnou součástí kulturního života Olomouckého kraje (kde se koná naprostá většina koncertů) s přesahem do krajů Moravskoslezského a Pardubického, ale stává se důležitým hybatelem festivalové turistiky. Za koncerty posluchači cestují z různých koutů a podporují tím také turistický průmysl. Návštěvníkům koncertů nabízí koncerty českých i zahraničních umělců mimořádné umělecké úrovně. Za dobu své existence navštívilo koncerty přes 33 tisíc posluchačů, kteří se mohou těšit na dramaturgicky pestrou a vyváženou skladbu koncertů, ať již formou komorních recitálů či koncertů komorních i větších těles nebo pěveckých sborů. Na festivalu se představují zásadní díla symfonické, operní, oratorní ale i komorní hudby.
The Klášterní hudební slavnosti festival is an international music festival with a tradition, which with its high dramaturgical and artistic level occupies the place of one of the most important and interesting music festivals of today, in Moravia it can already boast of this superlative in the given period. As the name implies, the festival performs mainly in sacred compositions or in environments that are historically connected with church institutions in some way (churches, former or current property of churches, etc.), but we do not avoid occasional deviations, either because of capacity , organization or conditions.
The fame of the event, but also the interest of the audience is evidenced by the fact that the visitor level is increasing year by year. The festival is not only an integral part of the cultural life of the Olomouc region (where the vast majority of concerts take place) with an overlap to the Moravian-Silesian and Pardubice regions, but it is also becoming an important driver of festival tourism. During the concerts, the listeners travel from different corners and thus also support the tourism industry. It offers concertgoers concerts of Czech and foreign artists of extraordinary artistic level. During its existence, over 33,000 listeners have attended concerts, who can look forward to a dramaturgically varied and balanced composition of concerts, whether in the form of chamber recitals or concerts of chamber and larger ensembles or choirs. The festival presents major works of symphonic, opera, oratorio and chamber music.
Let It Roll stepped into the scene in the year of 2003 as a small club event. Fast forward to the present and you have the world's largest drum & bass festival.
Let It Roll stepped into the Czech music scene in the year of 2003 as a series of club events. Through the clubs it grew into larger winter happenings in factory spaces and quickly became one of the most favorite and visited events in Czech Republic. In 2008 the promoters decided to organize the first summer open air festival. More than 3000 visitors arrived to the first edition of Let It Roll Open Air in the Oplatil sand quarry close to the city of Pardubice. Everyone was thrilled by the amazing atmosphere that the festival offered. The next year visitor turnout doubled to more than 6000.
Let It Roll festival was just different from the very beginning. The unique original stage design, that changes every year, underlies the festival atmosphere and the whole-around experience to the maximum. After a few years - in 2010 - "Let It Roll" started to be heard about abroad and gained very noticable amount of international visitors and feedback as well. The phenomen started to spread and in 2011 and 2012 the 10 000 visitor bar was broken.
It was clear that things were getting serious when in 2013 and 2014 the bar was raised to more than 15 000 visitors daily from all around the globe and when the festival was awarded 'BEST FESTIVAL' by the prestigious Drum&BassArena Awards, 'BEST OVERSEAS PROMOTER / EVENT' by The National Drum & Bass Awards as well as continually winning the Czech Drum & Bass awards from their very beginning till the present.
Big changes came in 2015. The festival moved from its venue in Benešov to its new home in the former Russian air base Milovice. Everything had to be built from scratch but the festival's site options became nearly limitless. The amount of visitors hit more than 20 000 followed by the festival winning the "BEST FESTIVAL" award in Drum&BassArena Awards once again.
Let It Roll's status as the world’s biggest Drum & Bass festival is strengthened year upon year, with 2017 seeing its highest ever attendance with over 25,000 D&B heads. Awarded by the prestigious Drum&BassArena Awards as "Best Festival" again among with other awards from past years, National D&B Awards "Best Promoter" and years of winning local - Czech awards. In 2017, the festival also celebrated its 10th anniversary of an open air and things are moving forward. Let It Roll becomes bigger than ever with the new decade. 9 stages and more than 300 of drum & bass artists will be crammed into 3 days and nights of super charged raving, all set off by the most impressive stage designs, light displays and firework shows available.
