The Church of St. Giles was a beautiful venue and also a convenient location in Old Town. My son and I were blown away by the quality of the performance, the organist and vocalist were superb. This was an uplifting performance that energized us for a wonderful evening enjoying food and sightseeing.

PragueTicketOffice: Dear Mr. Rath, We are glad that you and your son enjoyed the concert at St. Giles Church. Thank you for your kind words! Best regards

More than eight selections, performed beautifully by the three violinists, cellist, bassist and of course, the organist. The opera singer starred in half of the performances, and thrilled everyone. I sat on the aisle in the second row, the first time I had ever been so close to the performers. What an unbelievable experience and a privilege. I would have paid more!

The skill of the performers was outstanding. This was a highlight of my trip to Prague. I was only expecting a little string quartet, but to have the organist performing and also the opera singer elevated the event past my expectations.

Thilo W. | May 15, 2023 | 18:00 (Mon)

Well known titles, good musicians, organ not the best.

Denisa M. | May 15, 2023 | 15:55 (Mon)

Krásny zážitok. Úžasné výkony, nádherný spev. Odporúčam.

Iulia S. | May 15, 2023 | 15:14 (Mon)

I think it could be longer, one hour of classical music is too little, there are in fact some short fragments from classic masterpieces.

Wilhelmina E. | May 04, 2023 | 11:30 (Thu)

Beautiful and well performed music of the biggest composers. Got goose bumps and tears in my eyes. Minus for guests who doesn't know how to behave during a consert.

Beth S. | April 27, 2023 | 19:32 (Thu)

We really enjoyed it, especially the soprano!

Magnifique concert dans un lieu splendide.Nous aurions souhaité que les artistes (leurs noms)nous soient présentés....et pouvoir se procurer sur place quelques uns de leurs enregistrements. La soprano - concert du mercredi 20 à 17h - était-elle Anna Dolejsi? Une soirée que nous n'oublierons pas.

martine G. | September 17, 2019 | 06:50 (Tue)

Très bonne prestation, la chanteuse soliste a effectué une cascade de notes avec une grande aisance. C était une très bonne interprétation. Très bonne prestation de l ensemble des musiciens également. Parfait pour nous.

Siavash D. | August 23, 2019 | 13:28 (Fri)

How it was "made up" with advertisement and in the very touristic environment, we expected it to be a "touristic" event, with some mainstream classic excerpts. The quality of the performance by the 4 members of the chamber orchestra, the soloist at the organ and especially the soprano singer was excellent and a most pleasant experience. Hearing these pieces in an almost intimate setting (we sat in the first row), having the "voice" right in front of us, was even touching. The fact that people gave applause to the soloist singer even though the musicians were still playing was not so nice but more important was, that everyone enjoyed the music. Thus, the concert was a very nice touch to our Prague visit and to open a nice evening.
