Ministry of Culture

The Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic has traditionally been a strong financial partner of the Prague Spring International Music Festival, the most important music festival in the Czech Republic. The Ministry also a founder of the Prague Spring, Public Service Company, which was established in 2001 from the transformation of a State Funded Organization of the Ministry of Culture. In November 2022, the partnership was strengthened by a contract, thanks to which the festival will receive an annual sum of CZK 30 million, if all the necessary conditions are met. This greatly assists the festival organisers in negotiating with foreign partners whose engagements are planned for years to come.

Mr. Martin Baxa, Minister of Culture of the Czech Republic, is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Prague Spring.
