The Prague Spring - International Music Festival is the most prestigious classical music festival in the country and has been held every May in Prague since 1946. It is a permanent showcase for the best performers, symphony orchestras and music groups in Prague and enhances their international profile. In 2017 the festival featured 45 concerts involving world-famous figures such as Daniel Barenboim and the Vienna Philharmonic, William Christie or Krysztof Penderecki.
AC/E supports the ‘Spanish Accent’ section of the festival, a three-year cycle (2016‒18) designed to make Spanish performers and composers known in Central Europe. It aims to bring current Spanish performers to Central Europe, where Spanish music is not regularly featured in concert hall schedules. In 2016 three projects involving different music genres were presented with great success.
