The 2026 festival is themed "Between Heaven and Earth," an inspiration drawn primarily from its opening concert at the Prague Planetarium. This theme is reflected in a program that explores the universe, human evolution, emotions, spirituality, and a love of nature. Concerts are hosted in a variety of locations, including the historic Troja Château, the former Troja Brewery known for its excellent acoustics, the Prague Zoo, the Botanical Garden, and the atmospheric Old Wastewater Treatment Plant in Bubeneč, which provides a striking contrast between industrial architecture and classical music.
Founded by world-renowned violinist Jozef Špaček, who also serves as the festival's artistic director and a frequent performer, the Troja Festival features a lineup of esteemed musicians. Past performers have included brothers Joel and Alex Link, Eva Krestová, Jana Boušková, Harriet Krijgh, Denis Kozhukhin, and Lukáš Vondráček.
