Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Pachelbel's Canon and beloved baroque gems beneath the historic organ of St. Giles Church in the heart of Old Prague.
The concert takes place at St. Giles Church, home to a unique 18th-century baroque-romantic organ with 3,500 pipes and an exceptional sound — one of the favourite concert instruments of leading Czech and international musicians. Miloš Forman filmed part of his Amadeus in the church's interior.
