Prague Spring           View the YouTube profile for previous Prague Spring Festivals

The Prague Spring International Music Festival is a permanent showcase for outstanding performing artists, symphony orchestras and chamber music ensembles of the world.

The Prague Spring is one of the few festivals in the world to show an interest in young performers. The Prague Spring Competition was established just one year after the festival itself, and is held each year in various instrumental sections. In 1957 it became a founding member of the World Federation of International Music Competitions, headquartered in Geneva. Thus the Prague Spring Festival has been a prestigious showcase for world musical life and its latest trends since its very beginnings.
