Festival Dvořákova Praha: Enjoy music from September 5th to 23rd!
On September 3, 2025, the concert hall in Prague will be back in full force! This is the 18th time it has opened Dvořákova Praha Festival its gates. Music lovers from all over the world can look forward to a dazzling program that not only presents the works of the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák in an extremely diverse manner, but also honors the talents of numerous top international performers and orchestras.
The festival, described by Bedeker Prague as a tribute to Dvořák's musical legacy, will take place from September 5th to 23rd. It promises a real feast for the ears, with pieces by Dvořák's friends, contemporaries and musical successors. The festival will be opened by the Hessischer Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra, which will perform Dvořák's 9th Symphony and his Cello Concerto with the celebrated soloist Gautier Capuçon under the direction of Alain Altinoglu.
Entrances and highlights
The program is as colorful and varied as the music itself. The next day, the orchestra with violinist Julian Rachlin will bring Jean Sibelius's Violin Concerto in D minor and Shostakovich's Symphony No. 8 to the stage. The Staatskapelle Dresden is also very popular and, under the direction of Daniele Gatti and together with pianist Kirill Gerstein, is considered the highlight of the festival. These performances promise top-class musical enjoyment!
Another highlight is the Dvořák Collection, which is curated by soprano Kateřina Kněžíková. She will take part in four concerts and present song cycles by Dvořák arranged for the symphony orchestra. The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Leonidas Kavakos and Robin Ticciati, will also shine in this series.
New format and competitions
New to the program is the “Without a Tie” concert series, which brings a fresh note to the festival with creative crossover projects - kicking off with the Ensemble Philharmonix. In addition, the “Sound New World” project will reflect Dvořák’s 9th Symphony and thus bridge the gap to modern music.
The Academy of Classical Music emphasizes that the festival is not only dedicated to the great sounds, but also to new talents. In collaboration with the international music competition Concertino Praga, winners will be awarded a scholarship of 5,000 euros to support the next generation of musicians. If you want to experience the action up close, you should hurry up - some remaining tickets for the concerts are still available.
Whether Dvořák, Sibelius or Shostakovich – the Dvořákova Praha Festival is the perfect place for music lovers of different generations. It will be exciting to see what other surprises the festival has in store - the anticipation could hardly be greater!
