The Bohuslav Martinů Days festival has successfully celebrated over three decades of its existence. It will be our honour if you visit any of the concerts of our 32nd edition this year, which will traditionally take place towards the end of the year or our Prologue in the ElbPhilharmonie in April 2026.

For more than thirty years, our goal has been to perform and promote the music of Bohuslav Martinů. The core of the programme consists of concerts by leading Czech chamber ensembles and top soloists, presenting the audience with even the composer's less frequently performed works. In cooperation with the Czech Philharmonic, the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, and other prestigious ensembles, large-scale symphonic and orchestral compositions are also performed annually. We thus present the uniqueness and diversity of Bohuslav Martinů's work within the context of Czech and international composers linked to him by historical and stylistic influences.

An integral part of the festival remains the Bohuslav Martinů Foundation Competition. In 2026, it will once again support the youngest generation of performers, this time in the categories of voice and cello. In doing so, we help discover new musical talents and shape young artists who carry the legacy of the Polička-born composer to future generations of listeners.
