The final evening also had an important charitable aspect: a fundraiser for the Committee of Good Will – Olga Havel Foundation, which raised more than CZK 1 million. The proceeds will support organisations providing home-based and residential care for seniors in the Litomyšl region. In its expression of gratitude, the Foundation also recognized KŠB, which helped establish the Foundation’s partnership with the festival.

Combining music with help for those in need has long been close to our hearts. For three decades now, we have organised the Advent Concerts of Good Will to benefit the Foundation, and we are also an official partner and the “official law firm” of Smetana Litomyšl.
