Admirable Baroque Klementinum Cathedral by the Charles Bridge, in which great chamber classical concerts are held

On your way through Prague Old Town, you can´t miss Klementinum and its three churches. St. Clement is one of them and chamber concerts of classical music performed here are very popular. Today´s Greek Orthodox Church of St. Clement was built as one of the three shrines of the former Jesuit Klementinum College.

It was constituted by Anselmo Lurago and interior decorations of this unique building were created, among others, by the most famous Czech Baroque sculptor Matyáš Bernard Braun or equally famous painter Petr Brandl. The iconostasis has been added by the Orthodox Church. For its excellent acoustics the church of St. Clement is often used as a concert hall.

Wonderful setting and good acoustics, but we had difficulty in finding the correct location as similar events were being held nearby. It would have been good to receive precise instructions of whereabouts on email.

The placement of instruments and musicians can be more thought thru. That way the audience can connect with each musician . The seating style for audience ( being inside the cathedral ) does not allows them to see all musicians in action

Stéphane M. | September 20, 2024 | 18:40 (Fri)

Acoustique peu adaptée sauf pour l'orgue

Máti dělala otci garde na koncertě a byla jako on velice spokojená:-).

Deborah B. | May 30, 2024 | 13:39 (Thu)

We attended a concert there in the early 1990's and I was thrilled to be able to attend a concert there again. The sound quality doesn't get better than this.

Beautiful setting for a classical music concert. Only improvement would be if the muscians were set on a Dias rather than on the Cathedral floor so that all the audience could see them

Beautiful church with wonderful acoustics. Bring a cushion though (and maybe a blanket in the winter!)

Janet H. | October 08, 2023 | 10:00 (Sun)

Beautiful venue, but chaotic allocation/reservation of “premium” seating before the performance. I was not told where to sit and many people ended up having to move at the last minute. Staff not attentive or interested in providing customer service.

Love the venue. It was incredible. The only problem was that we paid for seats that were not available when we got there and were shoved to another row during the performance. Poor coordination for an otherwise excellent event and venue.

Měla jsem být ve 13-15 řadě. Žádné číslování, žádný uvaděč. Vzala jsem děti,seděli jsme zapadlí na židlích, neviděli jsme nic. Během koncertu byli vpusteni další příchozí,organizátor rozkladal hlasitě židle. Hrůza. Už nikdy

Mikalai S. | November 29, 2022 | 22:46 (Tue)

Myslíte-li kostel, pak skutečně velmi dobré - navíc tam bylo nečekaně příjemně, nebyla tam zima. navíc jsme využili blízkosti Karlova mostu k procházce před zahájením koncertu (díky včasné přesné specifikaci míst a skutečnosti, že jsme nikde nemuseli čekat ve frontě nebo se bít o nějaká místa). Myslíte-li místo v kostele, pak jsme byli také spokojeni (6. řada VIP byla optimální).

easy to find and confortable seats. the cathédral makes me forget i missed the opportunity to visit the sixtine chappelle (sorry ^^) the place played its part in the marvellous moment my family and i spent.

Franck S. | November 19, 2019 | 09:26 (Tue)

The music sounded great but I could unfortunately not really appreciate it because the 2 year old behind me kept making a bit of noise (as babies do!!) and the parents were not discrete enough to take her to the back of the room or out... It completely ruined the experience for me unfortunately; I think an organiser should have stepped in at some point.

The venue was nice. I mean, it‘s the St. clemens church. So the sound, the music and the architecture of the building matched very well.

Beautiful baroque Jesuit-built church. Acoustically as if it was built for such events. After all, XVIII century builders knew what they have been doing.

The venue is beautiful and is a great place to watch a concert. As mentioned before, the venue just needs to ensure people follow the rules that are there.
