Summary:Given the continuation of the epidemiological crisis, all musical activities in Czechia this winter took place online. It seems that more and more organizers are opting to mediate the concert experience in this manner instead of cancelling concerts, though the programming is often reduced. The Days of Contemporary Music festival, for instance, uploaded thirty videos onto its YouTube channel of pieces planned for the festival, performed instead by musicians in empty concert halls around the country - listeners could thus experience at least the works written for smaller instrumentations. Chamber concerts of contemporary music were also live steamed by the festivals The Musical Present and New Music as well as the Berg Orchestra with its Music for Sirens project and Ensemble Opera Diversa. The most prestigious event was the premiere of a new symphonic work by the internationally successful composer Ondrej Adamek.
