International Organ Festival Olomouc

For more than half a century, the International Organ Festival has been an essential part of Olomouc’s cultural life. In 2026, St. Maurice’s Church with its famous Engler organ will once again host the festival. For the first time, however, the festival will also feature a special concert in Uničov.

In 2026, the organ world will commemorate the 140th anniversary of the birth of one of the most significant composers of organ music, the renowned virtuoso, improviser and teacher Marcel Dupré. His anniversary will serve as the leitmotif of this year’s festival, with individual concerts showcasing all aspects of his work. A diverse range of concert programmes performed by top-tier artists awaits the audience.
