For preschools and schools
Our programmes for preschools and the individual grades of elementary and secondary school will definitely convince pupils of all ages that classical music need not always be serious and certainly should never be dull.

A Little Train Ride with Dvořák
The journey can be the destination. Let's go together to a concert of chamber music by Antonín Dvořák. Where will we go? As far as America. What will we be riding? Dvořák's favourite means of transportation. Who will go with us? The Norbert Quartet - real string experts.
Fašánek or Fun Folk Customs for the Whole Year
The cycle of workshops is based on the traditional folk rhymes, songs, and dances, on the legacy of Pavel Jurkovič, and the belief that folk poetry is timeless and always relevant while preserving the wisdom of our great-grandpas and great-grandmas. The common motif is the wicker wreath as the symbol of time and timelessness.

The Emperor’s Nightingale – A Visit to the Court of the Emperor of China
Once upon a time there was a Chinese emperor who loved toys, technical novelties, machines of all kinds, and mechanical puppets. Then one day he received an unusual gift: a mechanical nightingale wound up with a key. But can it replace the lovely song of a live nightingale? And what happens if the toy breaks?

Deep Space
Welcome to our spaceport! Together, we are heading for the unexplored ends of the galaxy. With Antonín Dvořák’s New World Symphony, we are setting out on a long journey through space. We will experience weightlessness and will face the unexpected traps of a graphic score.
Four Elements
We begin each meeting in the Suk Hall where we playfully draw the children and their teachers in the theme of the afternoon. The joint programme is followed by at least three workshops for smaller groups of pupils full of singing, moving, playing musical instruments, and crafting.

The Joys and Sorrows of Mr. Dvořák
Together, let's experience a special life story. The story of a talented man that the Fates gave more than just great talent and diligence.

Your work will live forever..."

Steps to the New World. Great Stories of European Music
With beautiful music that tells stories, we will be flying around Europe from north to south and from west to east. Bizet’s fiery Carmen will be ignited, Peer Gynt, now stranded, will awaken one lovely morning, the singer Tannhäuser will enter Wartburg Castle, and a fairy-tale prince will come to the shore of Swan Lake.

Coffee with Antonín D.
Let's go back in time a century and a half.
