The story

Dvorak Prague Festival in Prague

Dvorak Prague began in 2008 at the Rudolfinum concert hall, timed each September around composer Antonin Dvorak's birthday, and has since hosted dozens of major orchestras, conductors and soloists, drawing close to 270,000 in-person attendees across its first fourteen years plus millions more via broadcast. While anchored in Dvorak's Romantic repertoire, programming extends back to the Classical period and forward into contemporary music.

Dvorak Prague, despite carrying the name of a composer who died in 1904, is a genuinely young festival: it began only in 2008 at Prague's Rudolfinum concert hall, timed each September to open around the birthday of Antonin Dvorak on the 8th of that month.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Despite being named for a composer who died in 1904, Dvorak Prague is a genuinely recent addition to the city's festival calendar, founded only in 2008, yet it has already hosted 66 orchestras, 96 conductors and well over a hundred singers and instrumental soloists within its first fourteen years, a programming density unusual for a festival still under two decades old

02

The mystery stays covered

Its fixed early-September timing, opening around Dvorak's own birthday, gives it a role effectively launching Prague's autumn classical season each year

03

The city starts moving

Reach beyond the Rudolfinum's physical seats is also notable: close to 270,000 in-person attendees across fourteen years, plus millions more via radio and television broadcast
