Year 2014 is being considered the Year of Czech Music ( in this year the anniversaries of the foremost Czech music personalities such as B. Smetana, A. Dvořák, L. Janáček, V. Novák, B. Martinů, J. Suk a.o. rarely grouped together) and numerous outstanding cultural events which affect the music life both in Czech Republic and abroad will take place.
