Members of the Jeremy Winston Chorale and the Czech National Symphony Orchestra perform in the Municipal House
The Hollywood Night is always highly favoured and requested by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra (CNSO) audiences. This year, to avoid disappointing them, the orchestra is again performing their concert at the international music festival Prague Proms. They’ve prepared an assortment of iconic film melodies from the movies Pink Panther, Bullitt, Whiplash, Forrest Gump, Ghostbusters and The Band. Alongside this, they’ll be performing the unforgettable hits of composer Ennio Morricone.
Each concert is a beckoning for them, a chance to carefully select the dramaturgy and the performers to make it a truly magical night. For this event, they’ve invited two Czech soloists, Simona Hulejová and Ondřej Izdný. Introducing themselves alongside the two soloists will be the vocal band SKETY, who performed last year at the Prague Proms Festival in a concert which premiered in the Loop Jazz Club.
The concert will also feature distinguished international performers, like the Jeremy Winston Chorale, a world-famous and award winning gospel choir. In 2012, the group was invited by President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle to perform at the White House. This success is not by any means a surprise, as the individual singers within the group manage to perform outstanding vocal feats at every concert they are in.

The Smetana Hall is the most famous and largest concert hall of the Municipal House in Prague
Prague Municipal House and the splendid interior of its main hall, named after famous Czech composer Bedřich Smetana, will take your breath away. The best way how to explore this exquisite hall is to attend one of the great classical concerts held here.
Built as a tribute to Bedřich Smetana - world known Czech composer. Representative Smetana Hall was the site of the independent Czechoslovak Republic declaration in 1918. Nowadays it serves predominantly as a concert hall.
Beautiful Art Nouveau decorations – paintings with Slavic motifs, decorative stained glass ceiling, gilded lamps, beautiful organ – all this creates an unusually harmonic whole, which is a worthy area for implementation of the greatest treasures of Czech and world classical music.
The Municipal House in Prague was built at the place of the former Royal Court in 1912 to celebrate the Czech nation. It is a representative building which for its splendour and beautiful decorations is one of the jewels of Prague architecture. Although the building is usually described as an "Art Nouveau" edifice it is more of a blend of neo-Baroque, neo-Renaissance, western and oriental influences and Czech Art Nouveau style.
Today, the Municipal House in Prague offers a wide range of multifunctional premises in which all sorts of events are held (exhibitions, conferences, fashion shows, charity events, companies' shows, etc.). There is also a great and highly recommendable French restaurant, Municipal House Café and American bar.
Municipal House is, above all, a great venue for Prague classical music concerts and one of the prime venues of the world-famous Prague Spring Festival.
Do not miss your chance to visit great classical music concert in one of the nicest concert venues in Prague!
