Famous classical melodies in the heart of Prague

Two professional violinists, soloists and members of the National Theatre Orchestra, perform famous melodies by Bach, Handel, Mozart, Dvořák and Strauss with organ and piano. The varied programme combines powerful classical works, gentle melodies and lighter, playful moments.

The concert takes place in the historic St. Nicholas Church on the Old Town Square, close to Prague’s Astronomical Clock and the main sights of the Old Town. It is a good choice for visitors looking for an enjoyable one-hour cultural experience in the centre of Prague.

Classical concert with an audience in the Baroque interior of St. Nicholas Church in Prague

Hear how the sound changes around the church

During the concert, the violinists perform from different places inside the church. From high above near the organ, their sound travels into the dome and spreads through the whole interior. When they play downstairs in front of the audience, the same instruments sound warmer, clearer and more personal.

You will also hear the majestic pipe organ on its own, filling the church with its powerful sound. And in one of the pieces, the violinists create music without using their bows — a small surprise to watch as well as hear.
