Smetanovy Jabkenice 2026 – Hudební festival pro slyšící i neslyšící

This year we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Bedřich Smetana’s move from bustling Prague to the tranquility of the Central Bohemian village of Jabkenice, where he spent the last 10 years of his prolific life.

You can look forward to a wide range of genres for the whole family:

a rich children’s program, a diverse lineup, prominent figures, and young artists. The program will feature works by B. Smetana as well as film scores, classical arias, DJs, and saxophone performances; you’ll enjoy the power of a symphony orchestra and the romance of an evening at the movies.

Performances marked in the program are interpreted into Czech Sign Language.

The music festival is held under the auspices of the Minister of Culture.
