Musica Orbis Festivals

Twice a year, Musica Orbis Festivals welcome amateur choirs and orchestras from around the world to the magical city of Prague.

Renowned for their warm, friendly atmosphere, personal approach, and meticulous organization, our festivals offer an unforgettable musical experience for every participant.

Whether you are part of a non-professional choir or an amateur orchestra, we warmly invite you to share your music in some of Prague’s most stunning concert venues. Since 2019, more than 60 choirs and 1,800 musicians from across Europe and the Americas have filled historic halls — including Sts. Simon and Jude Church, the Czech Museum of Music, and even the St. Vitus Cathedral — with their voices and instruments.

Join us in celebrating the joy of making music together in one of the world’s most inspiring cities!

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!
