Bach – St John Passion

It is hard to imagine Easter without Johann Sebastian Bach's St John Passion...

His music is like no other. Listening to it is like returning to a landscape that is familiar and close to our hearts. The crystalline purity of the music and the endless stream of harmonies against the dramatic text combine to create moments that leave us all breathless. So this year we will return together to places we know, but try to see them with different eyes.

Prague Old Town Square concerts

Sts. Simon and Jude Church

Beautiful Sts. Simon and Jude Church in Prague Old Town serves as a concert hall

Amicable and uplifting atmosphere of the Sts. Simon and Jude Church is the ideal place to enjoy masterpieces of classical and sacred music. The Church of Sts. Simon and Jude is unique by its initiation - it is the only Prague church dedicated to the apostolic pair, Simon and Jude Taddeas.

The church was founded in 1354 as a hospital chapel and later rebuilt as a hall church with niches and chapels. The late Renaissance church served as a temple of Czech Brethren. In 1620, during recatholisation of the whole country, the Emperor donated the church to the Order of Merciful Brothers.
