Financování symfonických orchestrů v České republice

This bachelor thesis deals with the financing of symphony orchestras in the Czech Republic. It characterizes the development of the institutional environment of the Czech symphonic music, an overview of the legal forms and financing of these orchestras. The work includes this issue in the context of economic policy. The aim is to assess the situation of symphony orchestras in the Czech Republic and capture important influences on the development of symphony orchestras. Another goal of this paper is to outline steps to transform the current system to the more successful design, which would help to greater self-sufficiency of the orchestras and to better use of all ways to improve the economic development of orchestras in the Czech Republic. My work is aimed to arouse interest in this issue and to provoke discussion leading to a change of funding symphony orchestras in the Czech Republic and maintaining these cultural jewels of our country for future generations.
