Subscription series ORANGE
Friends Ema and Domča want to dance, but Matěj doesn't want to. And certainly not to classical music. But Aunt Míša will show him what rhythm, tempo and dynamics can do in music. We'll show you how a polka differs from a waltz, minuet or march and how classical songs can be so juicy that you'll want to dance too.

The Philharmonic participates in EU project TOTAL PEACE
The Philharmonic OrchestraHradec Králové takes part in the European project TOTAL PEACE.
The project is part of the "Europe for Citizens" challenge and is organized by six countries (Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Poland and the Czech Republic). The unifying element of the project is the commemoration of six important personalities from six countries. Each personality received its symbolic flower. The basic idea of the project is: "From totalitarian regimes to a peaceful and democratic Europe." It emphasizes the principle of "non-violence".
The personality of the Czech Republic is Václav Havel.
In 2021, due to the coronavirus crisis, the following events took place online:
Portugal, April - Celeste Cairo, red carnation
- Greetings from the FHK hall for Portugal event - a recording of the cult Portuguese song Grândola, vila morena
Italy, September - Alexander Langer, Alpine edelweiss
Czech Republic, October - Václav Havel, white heather
Live stream of online events of the Hradec Králové Philharmonic
In 2022, the following events already took place live:
Spain, March - Federica Montseny Mañé, mimosa
Poland, May - Marek Edelman, yellow daffodil
Netherlands, June - Etty Hillesum, jasmine
As a result of Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine, the TOTAL PEACE project took on a new dimension this year. The participants commented on the current situation. Each participating organization then prepared its opinion. Read our opinion on the topic:
HRADECKÝ MEMORIAL
This year, the 6th year of this festival is taking place with the subtext "Not Expired - Modern History by Music, Word and Image". Concerts, exhibitions, discussions and lectures are held throughout the year. Many important musicians have already performed at the festival, the compositions of important composers are heard and many celebrities have spoken. At the beginning, we formulated the idea of this project as follows: "Freedom and democracy are not self-evident. There are still those who want to gain the unjustified power to decide the fates of others. There are demagogues offering unattainableand authoritarian leaders with a desire "to rule with a firm hand for the good of us all". HRADECKÝ MEMORIÁL recalls by the attractive form of historical experience and the fragility of democracy. How up to date today!
