About the festival:

The international music festival Czech Touches of Music is among the seven greatest festivals of classical music in the Czech Republic. Its aim is to offer audiences valuable musical experiences while listening to top repertory compositions as well as interesting compositions that are not performed so frequently.

The festival’s dramaturgy has a unique concept based primarily on classical music, namely orchestral, chamber and recital works, and ancient music. The popular series is represented by crossover concerts. The festival regularly introduces special programme projects – exclusive concerts as part of the cycles entitled Prague Castle Music, Gems of Russian Music, Music of the V4 Countries, Concert for Children and Parents, and multi-genre projects involving literature, film, the creative arts and architecture.

The Hradčany Monastery of the Discalced Carmelites is located just a few steps from the Prague Castle

It used to be a home to the discalced carmelite sisters who lived here in a contemplative way in papal encloser. In 2020 the sisters moved from the city center to a calmer location in the outskirts of Prague. Their brothers from the Order of the Discalced Carmelites took over the care of the Hradčany Monastery and decided to open it for public.

The religious community uses a small part of the convent. The major part of the monastery is called Fortna ("the gate"), and is open for spiritual, educational and cultural events and to all those who want to just spend some time in a place with a strong story and a unique and unforgettable genius loci. The bonus is the breathtaking view of Prague from the monastery terrace.
