The Southern Bohemian province capital České Budejovice (Budweis) is world-wide known for its famous and marvellous beer. But this city offers much more: A medieval city centre with a cosy ambience, in many parts styleful reconstructed, an alive university town and good situated between Linz, Munich and Prague.

Musical traditions are not only carefully maintained at the universities - in České Budejovice you can find some of the best youth choirs of the country. The organ player and composer Adam Vaclav Michna (17th century) was born in a nearby village with the name Otradovic. His most known composition is the Missa Sancti Venceslai.

Concert places are in Budweis and in Česky Krumlov, an UNESCO World Heritage Site with a large castle and an old town along a river. After spending the day in this medieval town, the choirs will perform their final concert in the castle in the former riding stable, where concerts are celebrated all over the year (see below).

Guided tours in Budweis and Krumlov are planned as well as a farewell dinner with all choirs to get international contacts. Altogether an experience-rich weekend in one of the most beautiful regions of the Czech Republic. Extensions are recommended in Prague, Munich, Salzburg or Vienna - friendship concerts and church services can be there arranged too.
