Brno Christmas also has a daily cultural and musical programme. So even in winter, Brno lives up to its title as a UNESCO City of Music. Every day Freedom Square and other locations will host afternoon and evening concerts.
Stage on Freedom Square
The concerts will span many genres, including jazz, rock, musicals, folk, funk, pop, blues, folk, gospel, and swing. Sunday afternoons will belong to performances by Brno choirs under the banner of the Office of Brno UNESCO City of Music.
Charity on Freedom Square
Behind the charity on Freedom Square stands the story of a girl rescued from the forest, which led to a beautiful tradition. She was found in the Bílovice forest in the snow on Christmas, 1919. One of her rescuers was the journalist Rudolf Těsnohlídek, who then drew inspiration from Copenhagen and in 1924 led in Brno the first collection under an illuminated tree. The collection was for abandoned children. This year, this location will see a charity collection for the Czech Red Cross.
Another opportunity to help can be found in the Daruj Kelímek (Donate a Cup)stands, where you can donate returnable cups to support charitable projects in these categories: children and families, humanitarian aid, people with disabilities, seniors, sustainability, and animals.
Programme on Dominican Square
The cultural programme on the small stage at Dominican Square will focus mostly on chamber concerts. Weekend musical performances will be complemented by regular stories for children and creative workshops in the Jalta arcade.
Programme subject to change.
