More >> I am very pleased to have this opportunity, as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia, to accept patronage of the Young Prague festival. This year, the festival celebrates its 27th birthday. In human terms, then, it is still young, but for a music festival dedicated to young performers of classical music, that 27 is a number worthy of respect. Many of the musicians that will take the stage this year were not even born when the first Young Prague festival was held. Young Prague has become an integral part of Prague's incredibly rich music scene. And - this year once again - some of the festival's concerts will take place in the historic halls of the Wallenstein Palace (Valdštejnský palác), the building of the Senate. In addition to countries, like Japan and Poland, which regularly send performers, this year's festival will welcome young musicians from all countries of the Visegrád Group - to celebrate 100 years of modern Czech statehood. Thus, this year once again, the Young Prague festival fulfills its mission: to offer a comparison and a platform for young musicians on the cusp of their professional careers. To all the performers and audiences, may you have excellent musical experiences. And to the organizers, may the festival succeed this year as it has in the past..

More >> Dear listeners, welcome to the 27th annual Young Prague international music festival. This year carries special significance for our republic, since it marks 100 years since its foundation. The year 1918 was a year of huge changes for all of Europe: borders were redrawn and new States came into being. Although the whole world entered dark periods later, we can say that the mutual cooperation that began in that year laid the foundations for the current situation, in both political and cultural terms. We are proud that our festival is a direct and living testament to the fact that artistic collaboration has a place in the modern world. The artistic values the performers create speak to the listeners, and enrich them. Music has the ability to interconnect the whole world without words, and we are pleased to be direct participants. We are honored that, at our concerts, you will hear young musicians from truly all over the world - from countries close to us geographically, as well as from countries in far-away continents. Our performs enable us to get to know the culture and artistic feeling of their respective countries, and we have the opportunity and privilege to be their enthusiastic admirers. Let us enjoy the beautiful musical experiences they have prepared for us!

More >> Esteemed and Dear Young Friends, I am truly delighted every year to attend concerts organized by the International Music Festival Mladá Praha. As young artists, your performances are a pageant of commitment, talent, diligence and joy. I am aware that these performances are preceded by dozens and dozens of hours of hard work, preparation and sacrifice. Believe me, however, that this is a good "investment." It is a contribution to your own artistic and personal development, while giving powerful moments to those who have not been gifted with the talent you have received. May your efforts to be rewarded with applause and recognition, and the time spent in diligent practicing strengthen the talents that you, as it says in the Bible, did not bury, but multiplied many times over. For this, I wish you much strength and look forward to seeing you at the concert. Yours truly, JUDr. Dominika Kolowrat-Krakovská The Endowment Fund Kolowratek of Maximilian, Francesca and Dominika Kolowrat-Krakowsky << Back
