CONCERTO GLASSICO

is the name of the Associatio's project in support of the Czech glass and glass jewelry-making industry and presentation of the Czech Republic abroad, with special focus on Prague and the traditional centres of glass and glass jewelry-making production.
The project differs from a number of other existing events connected with the presentation of glass products, including jewellery, in many respects. The standard exhibitions and fairs, in which glass and jewelry-making firms participate in Frankfurt, Milan or Paris, are individual presentations, mostly promoting separate products and a single company brand.
