Praga Cantat festival of which the 25th anniversary edition was held from 27th to 30th of October 2011 became one of the most important choir events in Prague.

Praga Cantat festival is not an exclusive competition. Alongside the excellent choirs there are also choirs at the beginning of their development and those which want to match with the others and feel the beautiful atmosphere of the competition. The international and professional jury does not only judge the performances of the choirs but also gives valuable recommendations which may help the choir leaders with their following work.
