Church of Sts. Simon and Jude, Strahov Monastery, Troja Château, ABC Theatre

This special festival, centered on historical performing arts, was established in 2000 with top artists from both the Czech Republic and abroad participating. Due to the presentation of projects combining period music with baroque dance and theatre, this event is unique among early music festivals in Central Europe. The churches and monasteries where it takes place give these top-flight artistic performances a very special dimension, connecting music and beautiful architecture.

“In the years to come, we want music to continue to connect us” says Jana Semerádová, the festival’s chief dramaturg and founder…The audience can look forward this year to “an utterly unique genius loci, treats and treasures from the music archives, unusual musical instruments, unbridled musicality, and the captivating musical creativity of the invited artists…”
