Bach's Toccata, Gounod's Ave Maria and Vivaldi's Gloria — soprano, trumpet and organ in St. Nicholas Church on Prague's Old Town Square.
The Saint Nicholas Chamber Soloists — a soprano soloist of the National Theatre, the solo trumpeter of the Prague State Opera and a leading Czech organist — perform the most festive works for voice, trumpet and organ, crowned by the most famous organ piece of all time.
St. Nicholas Church on the Old Town Square is renowned for its breathtaking Baroque interior and some of the finest acoustics in Prague — classical concerts beneath Asam's frescoes are a long and popular tradition here.
