2020

A coronavirus pandemic – that’s probably what everyone thinks of 2020. For the first time in its long history, the festival didn’t take place in its traditional summer term but was moved in the fall. Due to the complicated situation, foreign artists could not come to the 29th year of the festival, which is why the motto “Český Krumlov with Czech artists” was created. The original dramaturgy changed into purely Czech. The festival culminated with a concert by pianists Ivo Kahánek and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Semyon Byčkov, the Festival could not have wished for a better ending. The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra played it after a long 16 years.
