The impressive Liechtenstein Palace: the seat of Prague Academy of Music and a favourite concert venue

The Liechtenstein Palace was built on the grounds of five city houses in 1591 and rebuilt in Classical style in 18th cenutry. The princely family of Lichtensteins gradually lost interest in the Palace and sold it to the Earl of Ledebour. Later on, the Palace housed many different institutions, until finally in 1980´s it was acquired by the Academy of Musical Arts.

It was beautifully reconstructed and adjusted for the purposes of the Academy. Nowadays, the Liechtenstein Palace is literally full of music! The Liechtenstein Palace is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

We can't fault anything with last night's performance...the venue was spectacular, musicians were brilliant and the choice of pieces was intriguing and interesting. Coming from Australia, we had no previous knowledge of Teml, Martinu or Suk so we found the program musically challenging and exciting. We weren't sure if the gentleman who was called up on stage was the artistic director or the composer but all kudos either way. Thank you for such a wonderful night of music...exactly the experience we were hoping for and thinking we would not find in a sea of Vivaldi and Mozart!!
