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.
