From Baroque to Romanticism

You are cordially invited to enjoy the magnificent tones of the organ, singing, and violin in the Evangelical Church of St. Michael in V Jirchářích, located in Prague’s New Town, whose interior combines Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architecture.

Works from the Baroque and Romantic periods will be performed by soprano Yvona Jurčíková, violinist Zdeňka Pelikánová, and organist Vladimír Kopáčik. The visitors will hear compositions by world-renowned composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, César Franck, Théodore Dubois, Charles-Marie Widor, and Antonín Dvořák.
