BERG Orchestra

musical ensemble

The BERG Orchestra is an ensemble specialising in contemporary music and supporting Czech composers, especially those of the younger generation. Over the course of their existence, they have commissioned and premiered more than two hundred new works. They often combine music with other art forms. They are pioneers in presenting contemporary music outside of traditional halls and have performed in a number of industrial buildings and in an under-construction Prague metro station. In 2021 they won the prestigious Prix Italia award for the Czech Republic for the first time in more than half a century.
