2018

The 27th edition brought several novelties. The first evening was in the spirit of a musical picture fair, when Festive Overture took place in the summer riding hall of the chateau garden – a performance of everything that took place at the festival during its duration. Visitors had the opportunity to listen to world stars such as tenor Piotr Beczała, soprano Sondra Radvanovsky, cellist Boris Andrianov, or pianist Javier Perianes. The evening dedicated to Czechoslovak culture commemorated the centenary of the founding of Czechoslovakia. The Las Vegas-style swing evening was also a great success, with singer Jan Smigmator and Felix Slováček’s Big Band excelling. As part of this year, cooperation began with the Jaroslav Ježek Art School for the Blind, which the festival has been supporting financially every year since then.
