The impressive Liechtenstein Palace: the seat of Prague Academy of Music and a favourite concert venue

The Liechtenstein Palace was built on the grounds of five city houses in 1591 and rebuilt in Classical style in 18th cenutry. The princely family of Lichtensteins gradually lost interest in the Palace and sold it to the Earl of Ledebour. Later on, the Palace housed many different institutions, until finally in 1980´s it was acquired by the Academy of Musical Arts.

It was beautifully reconstructed and adjusted for the purposes of the Academy. Nowadays, the Liechtenstein Palace is literally full of music! The Liechtenstein Palace is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

Lovely intimate concert. We took our 10 and 15 year old and both of them thoroughly enjoyed the concert. Short enough they didn't get bored and long enough for ús adults to enjoy. Many thanks

The musicians were AMAZING! I can only assume they perform these pieces hundreds of times a year, yet they seemed to be genuinely having fun and appreciated the audience. The pieces played were fantastic choices for a string quintet. I would see this again without hesitation.
