International Music Festival Český Krumlov

Due to the positive responses to the first two years of the festival, the organizers decided to extend the music festival by several days and expand it into new and unusual concert locations. The festival took place between the 19th to the 27th of August. It was decided that its opening performace would be in an atractive place. The compositions of G. F. Händel: Water music and Music for the Royal Fireworks performed by the Prague brass ensemble, Prague chamber soloists, the Virtuozi di Praga ensemble, conducted by Andrew Mogrelia, were heard by the lake in the castle garden. This concert confirmed the organizer’s thought, that beautiful music enhanced by an interesting location intensifies the audience’s unforgettable experience. During the third year the Kamchatka chamber orchestra performed with conductor G. Avvakumov (Russia) and the closing conert, devoted to Czech composers, was performed by the Czech Philharmonic under the direction of the German conductor G. Albrecht.
