FESTIVAL Programme

INTRODUCTION
The young2021bohemia prague festival will be already the eighteenth edition in the line of youngbohemia festivals (former youngprague festivals). The event was established in 2003 and within the years became known worldwide as the most popular venue for young people aged 8-26 who have an active interest in music and choir singing. The organisers believe that coronavirus will soon disappear and the 2021 festival will be the same and better than before. They expect to welcome a thousand of young people from all over the world . Friendly, cultural and secure ambience of Prague as a venue is unique. Participants will have a chance to show their talent and skill, meet new friends and at the same time to enjoy the beauty of probably the most attractive city in Central Europe.
