2008

The seventeenth edition of the International Music Festival of the festival began with magnificent scenography. The contraaltist Alison Bolshoi entered the stage from a gradually developing flower and, together with other soloists and the Prague Chamber Philharmonic under the baton of Daniel Raiskin, sang famous arias on the theme of Love and Death. The excellent clarinetist Sharon Kam, accompanied by the North Bohemian Philharmonic Teplice under the baton of Charles Olivier-Munroe, performed in the Castle Riding Hall. Even in 2008, there were concerts of another genre at the festival. For the first time in history, Night on Broadway with American soloists took place, and Oscar winners Markéta Irglová and Glen Hansard or jazz trumpet legend Bobby Shew visited Krumlov.
