Prague Multicultural Music Project

Bridging cultural borders with 5 days of workshops and concerts with performances in Prague and the surrounding areas.

Multicultural music festival bringing musicians together from various cultural backgrounds and genres to build connections by playing concerts together in Prague! We are partnering with the American Spring Festival in Prague and Jablonec and also in Ustek with the Ustek Music Festival June 22 - 27, 2017. The idea for the Prague Multicultural Music Project (PMMP) came about when the founder, Linda

Shea traveled to Europe in pursuit of a project to advance her music career. In the midst of trying to come up with an idea for developing a Fulbright Grant during the summer of 2015, the effect of the refugee crisis on Europe was quite noticeable. It was blatant that the refugees were living parallel lives along side but not with, the Czech and German nationals in the area. Therefore, an idea began to brew between the founder of the PMMP and a Czech orchestral conductor from India (Debashish Chaudhuri) and his wife who is a world-class pianist from the Czech Republic. The plan initiated out of a desire to bring people together from all parts of the world to interact through music rehearsals, concerts, clinics, masterclasses and seminars during the summer. Now the plan has transformed into a full fledged music festival with musicians coming from Iraq, Germany, New Zealand, China, Australia, South Africa, the United States, the Czech Republic and beyond, to play music of various backgrounds, ranging from classical to jazz, blues, rock and folk music from various cultures. The musicians will participate in three orchestral concerts that take place in Prague, Ustek and Jablonec (small villages just outside the city) and the rest of the time, the musicians will split up into small jazz combos, string ensembles, brass ensembles, etc. The music will be presented in a way that energizes and educates the musicians through the combined American and Czech/Indian conductors on the podium and also through the activites during the day. The huge benefit will be that everything is open to the public, not only the concerts but the clinics and presentations as well. Various jazz clubs and restaurants in the area will host the smaller concerts and the orchestral concerts will be in partnership with and as part of the Ustek Music Festival and the American Spring Festival. The highlight of the week will be traveling to Antonin Dvorak's summer home, and having the honor of meeting his grandson, Antonin Dvorak III.

Our Story

“Bridging cultural borders through Music”

Includes 5 days of concerts, masterclasses, workshops, jam sessions, etc. in Old Town Prague and the surrounding area. This is an annual festival in June. The idea for the Prague Multicultural Music Project (PMMP) came about when the founder, traveled to Europe in pursuit of a project to advance her music career. In the midst of trying to come up with an idea for developing a Fulbright Grant during the summer of 2015, the effect of the refugee crisis on Europe was quite noticeable. It was blatant that the refugees were living parallel lives along side but not with, the Czech and German nationals in the area.

Therefore, an idea began to brew between the founder of the PMMP and a Czech orchestral conductor from India (Debashish Chaudhuri) and his wife who is a world-class pianist from the Czech Republic. The plan initiated out of a desire to bring people together from all parts of the world to interact through music rehearsals, concerts, clinics, masterclasses and seminars during the summer. Now the plan has transformed into a full fledged music festival with musicians coming from Iraq, Germany, New Zealand, China, Australia, South Africa, the United States, the Czech Republic and beyond, to play music of various backgrounds, ranging from classical to jazz, blues, rock and folk music from various cultures.

The musicians participate in orchestral concerts in and around Prague, Ustek and Jablonec (small villages just outside the city). Smaller venues host performances during the week for other genres such as jazz combos, string ensembles, brass ensembles, etc. The music will be presented in a way that energizes and educates the musicians through the combined American and Czech/Indian conductors on the podium and also through the activites during the day. The huge benefit will be that everything is open to the public, not only the concerts but the clinics and presentations as well. Various jazz clubs and restaurants in the area will host the smaller concerts and the orchestral concerts will be in partnership with and as part of the Ustek Music Festival and the American Spring Festival.
