The Bohuslav Martinů Days Festival celebrates its 30th birthday this year. We would be honoured if you would celebrate the anniversary with us at one of the concerts we have prepared for you.
For three decades our goal has been to present and promote the music of Bohuslav Martinů. Concerts by leading Czech chamber ensembles and top soloists, who also present less frequented works by the composer to the public are the focus of the programme. The concerts, in cooperation with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra and other top ensembles, also feature large-scale symphonic and orchestral works. We thus present the uniqueness, richness and diversity of Bohuslav Martinů's work in the context of the works of Czech and international composers who share historical and stylistic influences and relationships with Martinů.
The festival includes the Bohuslav Martinů Foundation Competition, which supports the performance of the composer's works by the youngest generation of performers and thus helps to discover new musical talent and shape young artists.
Bohuslav Martinů is a sunny apparition in the sky of Czech music. Together with Smetana, Dvořák and Janáček, he belongs to the golden treasure of Czech national cultural identity.
