We care for cultural heritage, artistic education, and young musical talent.

Supporting Activities for Children

Help children from financially struggling families so they can spend their free time actively and among their friends.

Dvořák Prague Festival

Our foundation is the founder and main patron of the Dvořák Prague international music festival Festival. This significant cultural event annually brings together top soloists, conductors, orchestras, and chamber ensembles. The audience can always look forward to well‑known compositions by Dvořák and also to works by other world‑renowned composers.

Václav Havel Library: Havel Channel

In 2020, we became a partner of the Václav Havel Library. We help to spread the legacy and ideas of the first president of the independent Czech Republic, who dedicated his life to fostering civil society, freedom, and democracy. Specifically, we support the audiovisual platform: Havel Channel.

Antonín Dvořák Prize

This prestigious prize is presented by the Academy of Classical Music, of which we have been the main patron since 2009. Together, we annually honor individuals, groups of artists, and entire institutions for outstanding artistic achievements or for their contributions to the promotion of Czech classical music both domestically and internationally.

The Kennedy Center

In 2018, we supported the construction of the new building, The REACH, at the Kennedy Center in Washington. This modern structure provides multifunctional spaces where visitors can naturally immerse themselves in the world of art. We contributed 5 million USD to the project. Through our involvement, we are permanently bringing Czech cultural footprints into the Kennedy Center.

Website about Antonín Dvořák

The personality of Antonín Dvořák remains an endless source of inspiration. For this reason, the Academy of Classical Music has created an online encyclopedia about the life and work of this significant Czech artist. It is the largest online encyclopedia of its kind in the world. The Dvořák Encyclopedia is available in both Czech and English versions and is sure to delight all classical music lovers interested in the composer's artistic legacy.

Pianos for Schools

We help schools on their journey to a new piano. Join us in bringing joy to teachers, parents, and, most importantly, children!

Cheering on Talents

We support talented pupils and students who have the potential to become outstanding artists, inspire others, and represent the Czech Republic internationally. We believe that with the support of a strong partner, their hands and minds can become lighter and more confident.

Concertino Praga

In line with our mission, we have been a partner of the international multi‑disciplinary music competition Concertino Praga since 2019, organized by the Academy of Classical Music and Czech Radio. The goal is to identify exceptional talents under the age of 16 and support their further education and professional development. The competition final always takes place as part of the Dvořák Prague festival.

Verbier Festival

We support the festival, which takes place every summer in the picturesque Swiss mountain town of Verbier. The event strengthens the community of artists of all ages and provides visitors with outstanding cultural experiences. The festival features solo musicians, chamber ensembles, and vocalists.

Jan Schulmeister

Jan is one of the most successful young pianists of his generation. He has been winning awards at national and international competitions since the age of seven.

Vivi Nguyen

Although Vivi belongs to the youngest generation of pianists and has only been playing the piano for four years, she has achieved promising success. Vivi performed at the Golden Prague International Television Festival and, as the youngest participant, began honing her skills this year at the MenArt scholarship academy under Ivo Kahánek's guidance.
