The 35th edition combines tradition and modernity, developing the unique character of the festival, which draws on the genius loci of Český Krumlov and its surroundings. The theme of this year’s festival – Labyrinth of Stories – will take us to 14 concert venues, where music and storytelling will come together in a unified experience.
35th Festival Krumlov
17. 7. — 8. 8. 2026
Organ series
The organ is not just a musical instrument, but an entire universe, absorbing and vibrant. It can create a space where it is not clear what is above and what is below – but the senses are not disturbed, on the contrary: such vertigo is pleasant. The organ series is also a caring series, because organs are complex and vulnerable organisms that require our interest and understanding. But when they are played to their full potential, it is as if the whole region, the whole Krumlov area, is sounding – and with a unique tone.
Labyrinth of the World and Paradise of the Heart with Marek Eben
