Thank you all for your participation this year. In 2024, we had a record number of 130 participants. Please follow the links on Zonerama, our YouTube channel, and social media.
Applications for the next year, from July 11 – 20, 2025, are now open.
… Music and visual arts are just some of what I-AME, the international summer music academy in Prague, has to offer. Let us allow music to touch our hearts and come together to create in the beautiful spaces of the Deylova Conservatory, right in the historic center of Prague. We are looking forward to unforgettable experiences in a friendly atmosphere, numerous inspiring encounters with fascinating people, and many beautiful concerts. We have prepared a diverse program under the guidance of top soloists and chamber musicians, as well as distinguished educators. We offer a unique connection between the world of professional musicians and academy participants who engage with music, perhaps on an amateur level. Thanks to the magical power of music, these two worlds are successfully intertwined. The academy also includes an artistic and creative program for younger participants. To conclude, I will use a quote from Hans Christian Andersen that perfectly captures it all: “Where words fail, music speaks…”
I look forward to seeing you, Věra Binarová
Magic Music in Magic Prague
The Summer Academy in Prague, Czech Republic “Magic Music in Magic Prague” is a unique educational opportunity to explore the rich cultural heritage of Prague and the Czech Republic, while learning about the history and development of music in the region. Students will take part in lectures, workshops, and performances focusing on classical and traditional music, as well as popular genres from all over the world. The program is open to all ages, and no prior experience is required. Participants will have the opportunity to experience the city’s vibrant music scene, tour its iconic landmarks and monuments, and explore the many cultural attractions that make Prague so magical.
This year we will be in the heart of Prague, collaborating with the Conservatory Jan Deyl to bring our summer music events to a higher level. We will continue to nurture children’s love of music and help them develop their musical talents, with courses focused on improving their skills, training in chamber music, and performing in concerts in the beautiful Conservatory concert hall and other venues in Prague.
With the participation of Czech and world leading artists and educators, we organize a summer music academy for young artists and a music camp for children. We organize a summer festival featuring guests, educators and participants of the academy and camp. We are looking for emerging talented artists, which we present at concerts. Through creative music and art programs, we strengthen the personality and cultural development of the young generation.
