Cantate Budweis....

Organized since: 2007

Introduction:

The capital of  the Southern Bohemian province known as Ceske Budejovice (Budweis) is known world-wide for its famous beer. But this city offers much more: A medieval city centre with a cosy ambience, in many parts stylishly reconstructed, an alive university town and well situated between Linz, Munich and Prague.

Musical traditions are not only carefully maintained at the universities.  In Budweis (Ceske Budejovice) you can find some of the best youth choirs of the country. The organ player and composer Adam Vaclav Michna (17th century) was born in a nearby village with the name Otradovic. His most known composition is the Missa Sancti Venceslai.

Concert Halls & Venues:

Concert are held in the city of Budweis and in the neighbouring UNESCO World Heritage Site - Cesky Krumlov (Krumau).  This magical little village is  the site of a large medieval castle and an old town nestled in a bend on the Vltava River.

Farewell Concert and Dinner:

After spending the day in this medieval town, the choirs will perform their final concert in the castle, where concerts are celebrated all over the year.

Guided tours in Budweis and Krumlov are planned as well as a farewell dinner with all choirs to get international contacts. Altogether an experience-rich weekend in one of the most beautiful regions of the Czech Republic.
