Baroque St. Salvator Church is a part of Klementinum College, right opposite the Charles Bridge

St. Salvator Church is a part of the former Jesuit College of St. Clement (Klementinum) by Charles Bridge. Founded in the 16th century, it was completed in the 17th century by famous Italian architect Carlo Lurago and belongs to the most valuable early Baroque buildings in Prague. Its architecture was inspired by the main Jesuit church Il Gesu in Rome, a model for many sacred buildings in the baroque era. Today the church belongs to the academic parish.

Tradition of organ concerts in St. Salvator Church is very long. Beautiful (recently restored) organ from the 18th century used to be played by a number of Jesuit composers who worked in the temple, but also by famous composers of 18th century such as Jan Dismas Zelenka or Jakub Jan Ryba.

Prague classical concerts in St. Salvator Church gained a great reputation for their artistic qualities. Renowned musicians in the field of early music and beautiful premises of the early Baroque church make these organ concerts a pleasant event. St. Salvator (Holy Saviour) Church is established as the first academic parish in the Czech Republic and as a categorial parish. It offers a platform for ecumenical and interreligious dialogue and is open for spiritual seekers and non-active Christians.

This concert was a fabulous experience, not only the music, but the beautiful old church. The organ filled the space beautifully and the accompanying violin and vocals added variety to the program. I brought several friends to this event—most of whom are not classical music aficionados—and they all enjoyed the concert immensely.

We enjoyed the music. It was a pity that the performers were all behind us in the organ loft so we could not see the violinists or the singer. In the brochure it shows these performers in front of the audience.

The music performed was excellent. But the musicians played in the organ loft, so the audience had to turn round 180 degrees...to see them. There were no introductions to any of the music or the musicians, which was also very disappointing. There was no interaction with the audience. As an experience, it felt very ‘detached’.
