Showcase 2024

The Showcase project was initiated by the Institute of Art - Theatre Institute (IDU) with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.

The Showcase will take place in 2024 in collaboration with the MenART Academy and PKS under the leadership of project patron Radek Baborák and with the support of HAMU, OSA and other partners. 

Meetings with experts, mentors and lectures by experts will again be a key part of Showcase 2024. This educational programme will take place on 18 October 2024 and will be particularly focused on the self-presentation of future musicians, whether they plan to pursue solo careers, chamber music, or choose a combination of engagements in orchestras and their own projects.  

The gala concert of the performers selected by the jury will take place on 19 October 2024 in the Church of Saints Simon and Jude, accompanied by the Prague Chamber Soloists Orchestra under the direction of Radek Baborák.
