Enjoy Baroque Session in Prague Crossroads - St. Annes´s church! You will hear violin virtuoso Jaroslav Sveceny playing authentic and modern instruments.

Jaroslav Sveceny is an internationally recognized violin virtuoso and expert on stringed instruments. He has been charting for many years the rich yet little known history of Prague violins from the 18th to the 20th century. By dint of the combinations of music genres, famous master musical instruments and the historical surroundings this concert will be truly unique!

Prague Crossroads - the initiative for the refurbishment of the desecrated St Anne's Church, founded in 927 by Saint Wenceslas, came from former president of the Czech Republic Václav Havel. His vision was to create a suggestive venue for meetings, lectures, discussions, concerts, performances, exhibitions, happenings, and meditations.
Vaclav Havel started a unique renovation of Saint Anne’s Church – Prague Crossroads, and we carry on his work. We have organised for you a series of concerts with violin virtuoso Jaroslav Sveceny and all the proceeds from tickets sales will be used to renovate the façade.

Please note the concert has no intermission.

The Prague Crossroads-St. Anne´s church is an international cultural centre, created on the initiative of President Vaclav Havel.

The Prague Crossroads is one of the projects of Dagmar and Vaclav Havel Foundation VIZE 97, which is also intended to preserve and administer this unique space. The initiative for the refurbishment of the desecrated St Anne's Church, founded in 927 by Saint Wenceslas, came from former president of the Czech Republic Václav Havel. His vision was to create a suggestive venue for meetings, lectures, discussions, concerts, performances, exhibitions, happenings, and meditations.

It is a suggestive place of concerts, performances, lectures, happenings and other cultural events. Despite its mostly secular use, St. Anne´s Church is breathing spiritual essence and newly found historical meaning.
