Not just a festival. A week when Kroměříž lives with music.
In a month, Kroměříž will transform again
Not just a city of concerts, but a place where world-renowned artists meet on one stage with those who are still waiting for their big opportunity.
This is what makes the Festival Academy Kroměříž special.
In addition to concerts by Simona Šaturová, the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra Olomouc under the direction of Tomáš Netopil , or the popular open air evening with the music of Harafic, young musicians from different parts of the world will also perform. Students who work all week under the guidance of top lecturers and at the Future Masters concerts or at the final concert will show how far their talent and determination can take them.
But the festival is not just about music
It's also about encounters. About conversations that continue long after the concert. About the inspiration that students and listeners take away. About moments when you realize that behind every great artist there were years of work, excellent teachers, and people who believed in them.
That is why this year's program also includes two exceptional discussions. Tomáš Netopil, Kateřina Kněžíková, Štefan Margita, Ivona and Václav Křivánek will offer visitors a behind-the-scenes look at music education and life on world stages.
Every concert has a different atmosphere
The historic Chamber Hall of the Archbishop's Palace, the summer courtyard of the ZUŠ, the intimate atmosphere of the Nadsklepí Cinema. Each place tells a different story, but they are all united by the same idea - to connect top art with a young generation of musicians.
And that is why the Academy Kroměříž Festival is more than just a series of concerts.
It's a week when music connects people, experiences and generations.
The Academy Kroměříž Festival will take place from August 13 to 20, 2026, and tickets are selling out quickly.
