PMP

PMP – Prague Music Performance Institute & Festival – has been creating a space where leading figures in classical, jazz and experimental music come together since 2011.

PMP brings together two core strands: the Festival, focused on concerts, premieres and interdisciplinary projects, and the Institute, dedicated to educational activities, masterclasses and artist residencies.

Artists presented by PMP include John Zorn, Kronos Quartet, Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell, Brad Mehldau, Esperanza Spalding, Uri Caine, Thurston Moore, Einstürzende Neubauten, Garth Knox, Mary Halvorson and Marc Ribot. The Institute has worked with artists including Alfred Brendel, Ivan Moravec, Murray Perahia, Leon Fleisher, Anthony Braxton and Roland Dahinden.

PMP also collaborates with other cultural institutions and festivals, among them the International Music Institute Darmstadt, the Tri-Centric Foundation in New York, the Czech Philharmonic, the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, the National Gallery Prague, the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art, the National Film Archive, the Prague Spring International Music Festival and Music is.

PMP is a great organization in a magnificent city with extraordinary people!

Alfred Brendel

I support the PMP's efforts to start a permanent tradition of a prestigious festival and institute in our capital. I am happy to become the patron of the Prague Music Performance.

Ivan Moravec

Bravo for the PMP! A wonderful idea in an incomparable city.

Leon Fleisher

PMP is one of my very favorite festivals! One of the best places to play in the whole world!

Adrian Belew

PMP is a great festival!

Brad Mehldau

We really had a blast! We’re in little pieces all over the place… But plan to recollect ourselves here. Again soon!

Esperanza Spalding

The best hospitality and the nicest crowd! We love you!

Thurston Moore

The marathon of works by John Zorn is very unlikely to be repeated here; nevertheless, the organizing festival Prague Music Performance briefly brought the Czech capital closer to the standards of the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg and the Philharmonie de Paris, where the same event had taken place earlier.
