The idea to organize Classical Concerts at Werich’s originated in 2020 from an idea to hold a “Concert for 100 people”. Its aim was to provide space for cultural engagement and musical enjoyment in line with the pandemic measures in place at the time. Needless to say, the plan did not work out.
However, with the undimmed longing for culture and the kind cooperation of the Werich Villa, we were delighted to be able to offer the audience six beautiful classical music concerts in the summer of 2021 for the first time.
The 2nd year of Classical Concerts at Werich’s brings both Czech and, which is new, international artists in European programmes to reflect the Czech Republic’s presidency of the European Union Council from 1 June - 31 December 2022.
We will also offer Echoes of the Classical Concerts at Werich's in selected locations of the Czech Republic so that as many classical music lovers as possible can enjoy the young Czech talented musicians in interesting programmes of the Prague festival. We invite you to enjoy the works of Dvořák, Janáček and Martinů at the Horácké Divadlo Theatre in Jihlava. The Spanish programme will be performed in the beautiful Schwarzenberg Tomb in Třeboň.
The festival is financed from ticket sales and is looking for sponsors. If you would like to support the festival, the organization of which is mostly done by volunteers, we would be very grateful.Account Number: 4640256002/5500
