Programme

Renowned, accomplished, and seasoned musicians help shape the identity of the Dvořák Prague Festival, their names drawing audiences year after year. Yet even the most celebrated artists once had to take their first steps. While the festival is a platform for established performers, it also provides space for the stars of tomorrow. For young musicians, performing at a prestigious festival before an audience accustomed to the world’s finest artists is both a challenge and an opportunity. For listeners, it is a chance to be surprised—not only by the maturity of these emerging talents but also by their bold choice of repertoire. This year, the festival welcomes the outstanding young musicians of the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester. Another highlight is the latest edition of the Concertino Praga competition, organised by the Dvořák Prague Festival in collaboration with Czech Radio. Together, these events form a unique showcase—an opportunity to witness musicians at the very start of their careers, many of whom will return to the festival in the future as its biggest stars.
