The Classical Music Concert at Lobkowicz Palace is a series of chamber concerts held inside Prague Castle. The setting is the palace's Concert Hall, where the ceiling is decorated with original frescoes by Šebastián Václav Harovník from the middle of the 17th century. It is a chance to hear live music in a historic room rather than a modern auditorium.
The programme lasts almost an hour and is played by a trio of flute, viola and piano. It brings together Baroque masters Bach and Vivaldi, Classical composers Mozart and Beethoven, and the leading Czech composers of the 19th century, Dvořák and Smetana. Pieces include Charpentier's "Te Deum", the Allegro from Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons", Mozart's "Turkish March", Beethoven's "Für Elise", Smetana's "Vltava" and a fantasy on themes from Bizet's "Carmen". There is also a suite by Philipp Hyacinth Lobkowicz, a flute solo and two pieces by Debussy.
The concert lasts about 60 minutes, so it fits easily into a day of sightseeing at the castle. Because the programme is music without spoken text, language is not a barrier, and it suits anyone who enjoys well-known classical works. Tickets are sold through the organiser, so check the organiser's page for current information before you go.
