Festival of Antonín Tučapský

The Festival of Antonín Tučapský in Vyškov continues the long-term efforts of the city and the region to care for the tradition of choral singing and to commemorate personalities who have significantly shaped this area. Antonín Tučapský, a composer and choirmaster associated with the Moravian environment and the Vyškov district, is one of the authors whose choral work has a firm place in Czech and international interpretation practice. The competition bears his name not only as a tribute to the personality, but as a lively space for contemporary choirs to meet over the values that his music represents – cultivated sound, understandable expression and a deep relationship to the text.
