“We want Prague Music Week to be a landmark event in the calendar of all music professionals and enthusiasts, as it will offer them inspiration, education, and new perspectives on their activities within the framework of the conference and fair. For the general public, we want to bring an event without genre boundaries in the long term, which will allow discovering music that is worth it. Simply put, we are heading towards a music festival that allows starting the evening with a classical music concert, continuing with a rock concert, and ending with electronic music. Every year we strive to gradually approach this vision, and this year I think we are making quite a big step,” describes Marek Vohralík, director of Prague Music Week.
The conference program will take place at the Exhibition Grounds
As part of the conference program of the 3rd year of Prague Music Week in the Křižík Pavilions, there will be 40 debates, presentations, panels, and practical workshops prepared for visitors on three stages, with the participation of 90 leading domestic and foreign personalities from the music sphere. Domestic and foreign representatives and representatives of festivals, labels, clubs, band managements, media, and creative professions have accepted the invitation as speakers - for example, strategic advisor of AEI Music Group Danny Olive, Wasserman Music UK agent Rebecca Prochnik, WiecherTroost, who is responsible for the Amsterdam Dance Event program, multi-platinum singer and songwriter Lauren Dyson, chairman of the board and CEO of Bestsport, a.s. (operator of O₂ arena and O₂ universum) Robert Schaffer, general director of AC Sparta Prague Tomáš Křivda, or promoter and manager Matěj Kretík. Also appearing will be the director for non-profit projects of the PPF Group Jana Tomas Sedláčková, or music pioneer and founder of Bandzone and ArtMaster Michal “Majkláč” Novák.
Visitors can also look forward to a special keynote interview with star Ewa Farna or the founder of the Coloursof Ostrava festival Zlata Holušová. Other domestic panelists from the ranks of musicians will include music producer, composer, and DJ NobodyListen, rapper, producer, and director Paulie Garand, singer and producer Annet X, or singer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and teacher Tomáš Konůpka alias IKON. And since the subtitle of this year's edition is HeartheFuture, the conference and festival program will largely focus on the young generation that is transforming the music world. The program will also include a comprehensive block on K-Pop with its significant protagonists.
“The PPF Foundation has long supported Czech talent and opens paths for them to the world. Prague Music Week greatly aligns with these goals. It strengthens the self-confidence of Czech culture and brings young Czech musicians into international awareness by facilitating contacts with foreign experts and promoters and helping them establish foreign collaborations. Our support will enable the organizers to consolidate the position they have built over three years, gain greater freedom and independence from the support of industry partners, and fulfill the ambition of becoming the main networking music event of the year for the Czech and Central European market,” says Jana Tomas Sedláčková, a member of the board of the PPF Foundation.
