What the 23rd Edition of Prague Proms Has to Offer
Dear music lovers, We are delighted to present the next edition of the international music festival Prague Proms. The year 2027 promises a diverse range of musical experiences, bringing together world-class performers, leading figures from the Czech music scene and original musical projects. Audiences can look forward to film music, classical music, jazz, gospel and unusual musical collaborations, offering fresh perspectives on familiar genres as well as original compositions.
The festival year opens in January with the popular Austrian ensemble Mnozil Brass, returning to Prague with their programme Strau$$. The seven virtuoso musicians will pay tribute to the Waltz King, Johann Strauss, blending his music with their own genre-spanning repertoire, characteristic humour and wit.
The festival’s June programme begins with the legendary Hollywood Night, an evening dedicated to iconic melodies from the silver screen. The programme, conducted by Steven Mercurio, will feature music from Titanic, The Fifth Element, L.A. Confidential, Life Is Beautiful, Good Will Hunting and The Big Lebowski. Joining the orchestra on stage will be singers Haila María Mompié and Simona Hulejová, alongside violinist Alexej Rosík and trumpeter Jan Hasenöhrl.
In the more intimate setting of The Loop Jazz Club, audiences will be treated to performances by the renowned Czech string quartet Apollon Quartet, as well as Boris Band Combination, a project led by pianist, composer and producer Boris Urbánek, founder of the Jazz Open Ostrava festival.
At the Church of St. Simon and St. Jude, violinist Pavel Šporcl will perform the complete cycle of Paganini’s Twenty-Four Caprices. The June programme closes with the spectacular concert 100 Voices: Gospel and the Spirit, bringing a hundred singers together on one stage. Led by choir director Jeremy Winston, the Jeremy Winston Chorale will once again fill Smetana Hall with the energy and compelling power of gospel music.
Following the summer break, Prague Proms returns in September with another series of concerts. At The Loop Jazz Club, audiences can look forward to the distinctive singer Rozálie Havelková, followed by the original ensemble Django Always—a trio of guitarists carrying on the musical legacy of Django Reinhardt. The popular Jazz Drink also returns for the fourth time, combining live music with a unique cocktail experience.
Film music fans will enjoy Alan Silvestri: Greatest Movie Themes, in which the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Chris Egan, will revisit memorable melodies from Forrest Gump, Back to the Future, Predator, The Avengers and The Polar Express.
The September program at The Loop Jazz Club also includes the remarkable project Jakub Zitko & Orfanik Orchestra feat. Aneta Langerová & Dorota Barová. The festival year culminates in Kalkant: Meeting of Generations, a concert featuring five trumpeters—Eva Osičková, Jan Hasenöhrl, Jiří Houdek, Jan Hykrda and Vojtěch Stejskal—performing works by the Baroque masters Telemann, Vivaldi, Bach and Torelli.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming you to Prague Proms 2027!
