For the first time, our Janáček Brno festival is crossing the borders of the Czech Republic to take its message to the world! Before Brno resonates with the complete cycle of Leoš Janáček’s operas this October and November, we are bringing a taste of the festival atmosphere to two of Europe’s major capitals.
In cooperation with our partners, we are organizing a series of three chamber concerts this April in prestigious venues across Paris and Brussels. All three evenings will feature the internationally acclaimed Zemlinsky Quartet, presenting masterpieces of Czech string quartet repertoire.
