Every visit to our concerts is a way of supporting the idea of Everlasting Hope. The heart of the festival programme is formed by overlooked works that were created in the concentration camps during the Second World War and to this day, these compositions remain an undervalued testament to human courage, resilience, and creativity. The festival also provides a platform for new projects by young performers and for their audiences, featuring works by composers such as Tigran Mansurian. As part of the festival, we organise a composition competition open to both Czech and international composers, with the winning piece always included in our programme. The festival’s artistic concept thus creates an arc spanning almost a century of musical development, bringing together memory and contemporary creation.
The festival is open to listeners of all generations – from classical music enthusiasts to lovers of theatre, cabaret, and jazz. Its spiritual foundation is the power of hope: a hope that overcomes displacement and creates space for beauty, faith, and freedom. Together, we can keep this legacy of hope alive.
The Everlasting Hope Festival offers not only exceptional musical experiences but also unique cultural encounters, including concerts combined with excursions to architectural gems (usually held at weekends and complemented by guided tours of remarkable private residences) and concerts held in restored synagogues, where audiences can discover the history of Jewish communities that have often disappeared over time.
The festival is supported by public funding, contributions from foundations and sponsors, and, importantly, by our donors. Your support will help us cover the costs of organising the festival and bring audiences unforgettable cultural experiences.
