Youth Music Festivals

Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Festival

Bratislava International Youth Music Festival

Musica Orbis Prague Festival

Your choir, orchestra, string orchestra or concert band can participate in two great international youth music festivals held each year in July. The Summa Cum Laude and Bratislava International Youth Music Festivals work closely together to maximise the musical opportunities for every group. Alternatively, depending on festival dates, you can combine one of these festivals with the Musica Orbis Festival in Prague.

There is only a short trip between them, and they are always joined together to make a continuous 9-10 days of music-making.

Venues include the Golden Hall of of the Musikverein and the Konzerthaus in Vienna, the Mirror Hall of the Primate’s Palace and the Concert Hall of Slovak Radio and Television in Bratislava, and the Mayakovsky Hall and St Vitus Cathedral in Prague.

There are categories for every type of ensemble, and every level is catered for. There are competitive and non competitive opportunities, workshops and public performances for every ensemble. Coach transfers, accommodation and guided sightseeing are all included. Not only that, but we can plan an extended tour before or after the festivals in these and nearby countries.
