Young laureates and festival artists close the Olympus Musicus festival with a gala of chamber music in Prague's Břevnov Monastery.
The final evening of the 13th Olympus Musicus International Music Festival belongs to the young musicians who have spent the week working alongside the festival's artists at the Prague Summer Academy. They perform together in a programme of chamber music that joins an established generation of performers with the one that is only now arriving.
The evening also introduces the laureates of the festival's partner competition in Italy, the Concorso Musicale Città di Filadelfia "Paolo Serrao": violinist Seowoo Jin from South Korea, laureate of 2025, and oboist Alina Lamziuk from Ukraine, laureate of 2026.
The Theresian Hall is the grandest room of Břevnov Monastery, the oldest men's monastery in Bohemia, founded in 993 and rebuilt in Baroque style by the architects Kryštof and Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer. Its ceiling fresco was painted by Cosmas Damian Asam in 1727 and the hall was given its name in 1743, after the coronation of Maria Theresa as Queen of Bohemia. The monastery lies in Prague 6, about 20 minutes by tram from the city centre (stop Břevnovský klášter).
The 13th Olympus Musicus International Music Festival takes place in Prague from 10 to 14 August 2026. Every year it brings music students, teachers and concert artists from around the world to the Czech capital for masterclasses and public concerts in which young talent performs alongside established names. This year's guests include Lyda Chen-Argerich and Denis Severin from Switzerland and Jinhee Joung and Youngsun Jin from South Korea, together with the laureates of the festival's partner competition in Italy, the Concorso Musicale Città di Filadelfia "Paolo Serrao" – violinist Seowoo Jin (2025) and oboist Alina Lamziuk (2026).
