Address

The 50th Moravian Autumn festival will take place from 29 September to 16 October in Brno. The programme reflects the roots of the festival; it does not return to them in a retrospective way, but seeks new impulses from them. Many anniversaries will be marked – including those of Bohuslav Martinů, the French Revolution and Mieczysław Weinberg – as well as E. F. Burian’s double anniversary (1904–1959) and the centenary of Masaryk University. Distinctive figures and ensembles, both domestic and international, will present their art at the festival in unforgettable performances.

The Moravian Autumn festival ranks among the most important cultural events in the Czech Republic. It was established as the Brno International Music Festival in 1966 when, following years of strict isolation imposed by hard-line communism, the activities of Brno artistic institutions were once again acquiring an international dimension, and the responses to its first year were very positive.

The festival invites orchestras to Brno that were previously passing Europe by, alongside top chamber ensembles and the world’s most celebrated soloists. It is not only a festival of interpretation which seeks to bring to Brno the cream of the world’s performers and to compare them with first-class home musicians, but also a festival of programming, one that is not only about “stars” (and certainly not about competition between them), but also about substance. Moravian Autumn takes pride in seeking new and interesting threads of programming, approaching living composers and giving them commissions. The festival also draws attention to young performers, giving them an opportunity to display their developing talents.
