Hope Carried by Music

Everlasting hope weaves together classical music, history, and the human stories of composers who were stripped of their freedom—yet whose music could never be taken from them. We bring their work into the present day, performed by world-class artists and presented in venues rich in atmosphere and memory.

About the festival

Since 2017, we have been commemorating music created in the darkest of times—within the Terezín ghetto and other places of oppression. We believe that art is an expression of freedom. That is why we bring the works of Ullmann, Krása, Haas, Klein, and their contemporaries to life today—honoring the past while carrying hope for the future.
