4th annual music festival

Classical music performed by exceptional young talented artists in the garden and attic of the Werich Villa, summer evenings imbued with the genius loci of the Werich Villa in Prague's Kampa district - this is Classical Concerts at Werich. It will please your ear, caress your soul and in its echoes also in selected places in the Czech Republic and abroad.

Music - I don´t understand it but I like it.
I don't differentiate between classical and non-classical, just good and bad.

Jan Werich

About Festival

Classical Concerts at Werich's is a series of classical music concerts performed by talented young Czech artists in the garden and attic of Werich's Villa in Prague's Kampa and at Echoes in selected venues in the Czech Republic and abroad. The original idea of the Classical Concerts at Werich's music festival was born in 2020 from the idea of organising a "Concert for 100 spectators". The aim was to provide an opportunity for concerts and culture, at least outdoors within the framework of the anti-epidemic measures in force at the time.

The 1st edition in 2021 offered six concerts. The 2nd edition and the Echoes already offered ten concerts in the Czech Republic, Iceland and the USA, with an accompanying programme in Prague for children.This summer, the garden of Werich Villa on the banks of the Čertovka River will be abuzz with both Czech and, more recently, international artists in programs that explore the notion of the classical in non-European works.
