We present this year's program, which transcends the boundaries of concert art towards scenic performance.
From November 11 to December 8, 2026, we offer five festival evenings united by a dialogue between music, spoken word, and performance.

• Cello Duel: The opening evening, performed by the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra (SOČR) and Robert Kružík, offers a thrilling musical dialogue where Petr Nouzovský and Vilém Vlček present two different versions of Martinů's Cello Concerto No. 1.
• International Guests: A concert by the Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice, led by charismatic conductor Joseph Bastian and featuring German violin virtuoso Niklas Liepe, promises an extraordinary musical experience.
• Stellar Synergy: A chamber evening featuring violinist Jiří Vodička and pianist Martin Kasík showcases a fascinating synergy of two virtuosos. They will connect the famous Czech lineage of Dvořák – Suk – Martinů with the work of Brno native Erich Wolfgang Korngold, shaped by his American experience.
• Scenic Evening: For the first time in the festival's history, scenic playfulness comes alive on stage. Actor Martin Myšička, violinist Josef Špaček, and an ensemble of elite soloists under the direction of Ondřej Vrabec will perform in theatrically styled works by Stravinsky and Martinů.
• The Young Generation: The festival includes the jubilee 30th Bohuslav Martinů Foundation Competition, held this year in the categories of voice and cello. The Laureates' Concert will introduce top talents of the rising generation.

Our mission is not only to promote music and spread the legacy of Bohuslav Martinů, but also to present it within the context of works by his teachers, students, and contemporaries, while opening up space for contemporary music.

As part of concert projects organized in cooperation with the Czech Philharmonic, the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, and other top ensembles, we also present large-scale symphonic and orchestral compositions every year.

An integral part of the festival remains the Bohuslav Martinů Foundation Competition, which has newly adopted a biennial format. In 2026, it celebrates its jubilee 30th year, with competition categories in Voice and Cello. The competition has long supported the youngest generation of performers, helping to discover new musical talents and increase their interest in studying and performing the works of Bohuslav Martinů.
