Description was written before the event

The Monastery Music Celebrations festival is an international music festival whose concerts take place predominantly in sacred buildings and spaces historically connected with church institutions — churches, former and current church properties. In exceptional cases, organizers may relocate concerts to other venues due to capacity or organizational reasons.

The festival is part of the cultural life of the Olomouc Region, where the majority of concerts are held, with extension into the Moravian-Silesian and Pardubice regions. The programme features major works of symphonic, operatic, oratorio, and chamber music performed by Czech and international artists.
