The Academy of Classical Music has long supported the education and development of young talented artists in the field of orchestral performance, who showcase their skills as part of the Dvořák Prague Festival.

In 2020, the Academy of Classical Music approached the Summer Music Academy Kroměříž (LHAK) and its founder Tomáš Netopil for this project. According to the original plans, a festival orchestra was to be formed from the participants of the LHAK Orchestral Academy, led by Tomáš Netopil. However, due to anti-pandemic measures, the rehearsals eventually took place in Prague, and to successfully prepare Beethoven's Ninth Symphony for the performance at the Dvořák Prague Festival, students from the Prague Conservatory were brought in to support the orchestra.

The following year, 2021, showed that due to the capacity of the LHAK Orchestral Academy, it was only possible to form a string orchestra from its participants, but not a large symphonic ensemble. Nevertheless, the concert on September 14, featuring Narek Hakhnazaryan as the soloist in Haydn’s First Cello Concerto, was highly successful and also included the world premiere of Dvořák Airlines, a composition specially written for the Dvořák Prague Festival by Lukáš Sommer.

The return to a large symphonic orchestra in 2022 was marked by a collaboration with the Prague Conservatory and its orchestra, composed of current students and recent graduates. The preparation of the concert repertoire for the performance on September 13, 2022, was led by the experienced conductor Petr Altrichter, with the solo part in Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto performed by Daniel Matejča, a finalist of the 2020 Concertino Praga competition.

For the 2023 performance, the Academy of Classical Music invited scholarship holders from the Chamber Music Academy and its artistic director, cellist Tomáš Jamník. Joining the orchestra for Ernest Chausson’s Concerto for Violin, Piano, and String Quartet were soloists – violinist Josef Špaček and his classmate from the Curtis Institute, pianist Roman Rabinovich. This concert also featured a world premiere: Diabolical Whim, a piece for solo cello and chamber orchestra by Czech composer Jiří Gemrot, performed by Tomáš Jamník with the orchestra.

In 2024, for the first time in the history of the Dvořák Prague Festival, the student ensemble had the honor of closing the entire festival. On Tuesday, September 24, we witnessed a magnificent performance by the Czech Student Orchestra, a project of the Czech Philharmonic, along with three soloists (cellist Pablo Ferrández, violinist Alexandra Conunova, and pianist Dmitry Shishkin) under the baton of Ingo Metzmacher. The final notes of the festival were dedicated to Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8.
