Musica Orbis Festivals welcome amateur choral singers and orchestral players in Prague twice a year. The festival is being recognized for its unforgettable friendly atmosphere,  individual approach to the participants and precise organization with attention to details.

Any non-professional choir or orchestra is cordially invited to take part and perform at the most stunning venues Prague can offer.

The festival has attracted over 60 choirs and 1800 musicians so far!

Since 2019, the participating choirs from all over Europe and America have filled Prague’s most beautiful concert halls such as St. Simon and Jude Church, the Czech Museum, St. Vitus’s Cathedral of Music and more with their musical performances.

Due to the effects of the pandemic, it was not possible to hold the Festival in 2020, neither in its international form, scheduled for July 16th -20th nor in the rescheduled autumn date of October 23rd -25th, in which we wanted to support the dormant Czech music scene. However, the traditional summer edition of Musica Orbis Prague Festival 2021 was not delayed and was successfully moved to the safety of a virtual space. The festival was attended by 25 amateur choirs from 12 countries from almost every continent.

In 2022 we have met again in person and the overall atmosphere of the festival made one feel grateful for the opportunity to share music live again.

Musica Orbis GLORIA was born in 2021 in response to a demand for another opportunity to perform. Since then we have welcomed choirs from various countries and have heard some extraordinary choral music.
