At the Prague Spring Festival, it is not only composers from ancient chapters of music history who are remembered. The festival is proud of contemporary Czech composers, whose names are perhaps better known abroad than in this country (as was the case with now-famous names in earlier times). Furthermore, Prague Spring builds on the names of top Czech performers who spread the good name of the Czech Republic abroad. Therefore, the main speaker of the conference will be the conductor Jakub Hrůša, who is the ambassador of the Year of Czech Music at Prague Spring. The conference will be moderated by Saša Michailidis.
