Ostrava is the third largest city in the Czech Republic, which lies near the Polish and Slovak borders. In the past, Ostrava was an important mining town where the discovery of coal deposits and related ironworks helped create an industrialised city. Coal mining ended in 1994. Many mining museums exist today and are well worth a visit. Ostrava also offers many other attractions.
Based on the results and success achieved and experience gained in the aforementioned festivals, among which particularly the Janáček’s Hukvaldy International Music Festival and the Janáček’s May International Music Festival were the most significant ones in the context of the festivals organised in the Czech Republic, the single following festival has now been founded by merging the festivals on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of Leoš Janáček’s death: Leoš Janáček International Music Festival
Therefore, it is a new quality and not a new festival. The aim is to capitalise on all the accomplishments and not to create something completely new.
The festival designed in this way will become one of the most distinctive European festivals, bearing Janáček’s name and spreading the musical and intellectual legacy of this brilliant native of Hukvaldy.
The joint intention of the Moravian-Silesian Region, the Statutory City of Ostrava and the municipality of Hukvaldy was confirmed by the signing of a memorandum in support of the Leoš Janáček International Music Festival.
