MHMP: Three new concert halls. Prague, Brno and Ostrava pull together
17/09/2022 10:59 | Press Release
Representatives of the capital, Brno and Ostrava met in Prague at the beginning of September to inform each other about the state of preparation of the concert halls that all three cities are preparing. The meeting participants agreed on a joint statement.
“All three projects for the construction of new concert halls in Prague, Brno and Ostrava are synergistic, after their completion and operation, the position of the Czech Republic on the cultural map of Europe will be significantly improved and the attractiveness of the Czech Republic for the world’s most important orchestras and soloists will fundamentally increase.
The representatives of all three cities understand the projects for the construction of concert halls as repayment of a long-term debt, a similar type of building has not been built in the Czech Republic for decades, and compared to other countries, we are very far behind in this respect. Prague, Brno and Ostrava need a concert hall whose parameters will correspond to the standards of the 21st century. Experience from abroad (e.g. from Poland) clearly shows that after the new concert hall is put into operation, the local audience’s interest in classical music concerts increases manifold. Supporting this part of the cultural spectrum is one of the reasons why all three cities decided to implement the projects.

None of the three projects of the new concert hall is possible without the participation of the state. The participants of the meeting agreed that investments from public resources, invested in such projects, will indirectly and directly return to the public. This is evidenced by the results of an impact study on the project of the Vltava Philharmonic in Prague. The participants agreed that they tried to create a common platform for negotiations with the state about its further involvement in the mentioned projects.”
The representatives of all three cities agreed that they will continue to inform each other about the preparation of their projects, exchange experiences and support each other’s projects.
