A 1-hour classical concert inside Prague’s Mirror Chapel at the Klementinum, mixing Czech favorites and world classics in a stunning heated venue.
“The concert was everything I thought it would be. The string players were quite brave to be playing in such a cold venue (25 degrees F/-3.9 degrees C). I spoke to a violin player friend of mine and she has no idea how they could do that without damaging their instruments. The music was very nice, and it was good that the quintet invited a singer on stage a few times. We were sitting in the very last row, so having something visually stimulating helped as we really couldn't see the players. The music was festive and expertly played. Though cold, the castle provided excellent acoustics.Read more”
