FESTIVAL Programme
INTRODUCTION
The young2023bohemia prague festival will be the nineteenth 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. 2020, 2021 and 2022 festivals did not take place due to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic. We believe that young2023bohemia festival will be back bigger and better than before. We again 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.
