Gustav Mahler and the Terezín Composers took place after last year’s Prologue. The concerts took place in the Rudolfinum, the House of Culture in Terezín and within the Magdeburg Barracks in Terezín. The programme culminated in a concert by the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester, which also marked the official launch of Austria’s EU presidency. As such, both the Austrian Ambassador and the Czech Republic’s Minister of Culture were also there to speak. The festival’s main partners are PRE, LOM Praha Trade and the City of Prague.
