The festive shine of brass meets the great organ — from Bach and Verdi to Italian songs and jazz, in St. Nicholas Church on Prague's Old Town Square.
The Prague Brass Ensemble — one of the leading Czech brass ensembles, a guest of festivals from Germany to South Korea and Japan's EXPO 2005 — joins organist Jan Kalfus for an hour of musical pearls from baroque to jazz.
St. Nicholas Church on the Old Town Square is renowned for some of the finest acoustics in Prague; its Baroque interior by Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer (1732–1737) makes every concert a feast for the eyes as well as the ears.
