The Brno International Music Festival has been held at the end of September and the beginning of October each year since 1966. The festival is a member of the European Festivals Association (since 1993) and the European Conferences of Promoters of New Music, as well as a founding member of the Czech Association of Music Festivals. The festival´s themes commemorate important composer anniversaries, and it also highlights significant contemporary musical trends. Each year it features around thirty symphonic and chamber music concerts, as well as vocal and instrumental recitals, opera and ballet productions, even various new forms of stage performance. The festival has twice been dedicated to the work of Bohuslav Martinů (1966, 1990) and has commemorated Leoš Janáček a full four times (1968, 1978, 1988 and 1998). Besides music by Czech masters, which naturally makes up the core of the festival´s program, the Czech premieres of works by a number of important foreign composers (Penderecki, Lutoslawski, Messsiaen and others) have also been given here. In 1994 the festival was divided into three independent parts:

The Easter Festival of Sacred Music answers to listeners´ continuing interest in concerts of sacred music thematically linked to the liturgically significant Easter season and presented in an authentic church setting. Since 1997 the festival has been held in the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul in Brno, under the patronage of the Bishop of Brno.

The Exposition of New Music takes the presentation of diverse contemporary compositional trends by quality international performers as its goal. Its concerts have taken place in conventional concerts halls as well as in untraditional spaces (brewery, planetarium, shopping mall lobby, atom bomb shelter, etc.).

The Moravian Autumn continues the nearly thirty-year tradition of autumn music festivals in Brno, appealing to a broad spectrum of listeners and maintaining its thematic character. Symphony orchestra concerts and opera performances are given in the Janáček Theatre, while smaller scale events are mainly held in the recently-renovated Beseda House. Since 1966 a musicological colloquium has been an inseparable part of the festival, its discussions reflecting the festival’s overall theme. The first International Music Competition was held in 1996, and has since become a regular event at the festival.
