Musica Orbis Festivals

Twice a year, Musica Orbis Festivals bring amateur choirs and orchestras from around the world to Prague for an international music festival experience that blends performance, culture, and connection in one unforgettable setting.

Known for our warm atmosphere, personal communication, and carefully crafted organisation, Musica Orbis Festivals create a space where every ensemble feels welcome and supported. This is not just another choir trip or orchestra tour — it’s a chance to perform, grow, and truly experience the musical heart of Prague.

Whether you sing in a non-professional choir or play in an amateur orchestra, we invite you to share your music in some of Prague’s most breathtaking concert venues. Since 2019, more than 60 choirs and 1,800 musicians from across Europe and the Americas have performed at our festivals, filling historic spaces such as Sts. Simon and Jude Church, the Czech Museum of Music, and even St. Vitus Cathedral with powerful sound and shared emotion.

Step onto prestigious stages, connect with musicians from across the globe, and become part of a vibrant international music community. Prague offers the backdrop — Musica Orbis Festivals create the experience.

EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF MUSIC IN PRAGUE!

The competition performances of the choirs were at a very high level of interpretation. It was confirmed how motivating it is for everyone to perform at the competition. The singers sang with great commitment and experience.

Marek Valášek, chairman of the jury,

I enjoyed the Festival very much. Everything was nearby, the backstage support was great. Above all I appreciate the easy communication and accommodating all of our needs. I can highly recommend the festival to everyone. The river cruise was perfect! Thank you very much for everything.

Květa Kavánová, Conductress Květa Kavánová (Mládí)

The individual judications from the jury (cake and coffee with directors) was a lively thing to do, Marni never had that before. They felt very welcome. Overall it was great, you did a great job and I would recommend it to other choirs!
