An enchanting evening of festive Christmas masterpieces — carols, Silent Night, Adeste Fideles and Bach's majestic Toccata — beneath the historic organ of St. Giles Church in the heart of Prague.
St. Giles Church has a unique baroque-romantic organ from the 18th century. The organ has 3,500 pipes and is known for its exceptional sound. It is among the favourite concert instruments of leading Czech and foreign musicians. Milos Forman used the interior of the church in his movie Amadeus.
During the winter, the interior of the church is heated, but it is recommended that you dress in warm clothing when attending the concerts.
