Launching our new Short Concert Series, consisting of five short concerts showcasing more remarkable works as part of our 10th anniversary.
About this Event

To mark the festival's 10th anniversary, we will return to our roots, featuring music by composers from Terezin. Terezin was a place of immense suffering, yet many composers imprisoned there managed to create extraordinary music. Our festival was originally founded inspired by these works.

As part of Brundibar Arts Festival 10th anniversary, we are launching a brand-new Short Concert Series consisting of five short concerts to showcase more remarcable works.
