Klementinum Mirror Chapel frequently host chamber classical music concerts

The Klementinum Mirror Chapel was built in 1725 most likely by František Maxmilian Kaňka. The impressive installations of Baroque mirrors on the ceiling make the chapel unparalelled worldwide. Together with gilded stuccos of Bernardo Spinetti, marble panelling and ceiling frescoes by Jan Hiebl, these mirrors create great artistic value of the interior.

Listen to the chamber classical music or even jazz music in an opulently decorated ceremonial space. The Mirror Chapel, originally dedicated to the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, is a unique sanctuary and one of the churches of the former Jesuit college, Prague Klementinum.

The chapel had been repeatedly desecrated and consecrated until it became a Prague classical concert and exhibition hall in 1936. The Mirror Chapel houses two precious Baroque organs and classical concerts held here are a unique and unforgettable experience.

Concert très sympathique en petit comité. Il ne dure qu'une heure donc passe très vite même pour ceux qui ne sont pas vraiment adeptes du violon. Je recommande

Wonderful performances within a Magnificent Chapel. Ensemble and Soprano plus Organist playing these pieces made us want more. Alas 70 minutes went quickly.

JANET M. | October 09, 2022 | 15:16 (Sun)

A wonderful concert, very well performed. Soprano especially good.

Výborní hudebníci i zpěvačka, škoda jen, že jsme nevěděli její jméno

Dobrý den, velmi děkujeme za fantastický zážitek, který byl pro moji maminku, jako dárek k 75. narozeninám a díky Vašim umělcům, se opravdu vydařil. Operní diva, úchvatná, stejně jako doprovod. Moc děkuji a určitě toto nebyla poslední akce, na kterou jsme šly.

A wonderful performance of great quality in a lovely and intimate setting

Petra K. | August 30, 2022 | 19:29 (Tue)

Výborná zpěvačka, šikovná varhanice. Hudebníci z kvarteta zřjmě spěchali na další štaci, kromě (asi) druhých houslí se tvářili velmi nezúčastněně. Škoda, že nástroje nebyly sladěné, poslech by byl mnohem příjemnější.

Titled "Gala Concert" of Symphony Orchestra (chamber) we expected something else. It was only a quartet plus organ and a soprano. A symphony orchestra in Germany is a big orchestra with brass players. Nothing indicative of a 'gala' could be found. Although the quartet performed well and the singer did a good job. The organ performed very weak.

Suresh J. | September 08, 2020 | 08:55 (Tue)

Excellent selection of pieces, great value & musicisans

Rémy A. | November 23, 2019 | 19:06 (Sat)

Magnifique concert dans un lieu splendide.Nous aurions souhaité que les artistes (leurs noms)nous soient présentés....et pouvoir se procurer sur place quelques uns de leurs enregistrements. La soprano - concert du mercredi 20 à 17h - était-elle Anna Dolejsi? Une soirée que nous n'oublierons pas.

martine G. | September 17, 2019 | 06:50 (Tue)

Très bonne prestation, la chanteuse soliste a effectué une cascade de notes avec une grande aisance. C était une très bonne interprétation. Très bonne prestation de l ensemble des musiciens également. Parfait pour nous.

Siavash D. | August 23, 2019 | 13:28 (Fri)

Excellente prestation mais dommage que personne n'annonce le programme ou présenter les artistes !

David T. | July 29, 2019 | 08:44 (Mon)

Isobel H. | April 30, 2019 | 06:49 (Tue)

It was a delight to sit in such a beautiful chapel and enjoy the wonderful music played by such expert performers.

Priska R. | April 29, 2019 | 14:20 (Mon)

How it was "made up" with advertisement and in the very touristic environment, we expected it to be a "touristic" event, with some mainstream classic excerpts. The quality of the performance by the 4 members of the chamber orchestra, the soloist at the organ and especially the soprano singer was excellent and a most pleasant experience. Hearing these pieces in an almost intimate setting (we sat in the first row), having the "voice" right in front of us, was even touching. The fact that people gave applause to the soloist singer even though the musicians were still playing was not so nice but more important was, that everyone enjoyed the music. Thus, the concert was a very nice touch to our Prague visit and to open a nice evening.
