Main description
In the heart of Prague’s Jewish Quarter, the Spanish Synagogue opens its golden doors for an evening where architecture, music, and history unite. Beneath its gilded arches and arabesque patterns, this Moorish-style gem offers an extraordinary acoustic experience, perfect for musical immersion.
The Czech Collegium Ensemble, made up of musicians from leading Czech orchestras, is joined by soprano Naděžda Chrobáková and trumpet soloist Miroslav Kejmar. Together, they perform an ambitious and diverse program — from Czech classics by Smetana and Dvořák to timeless masterpieces by Bach, Mozart, Gershwin, and Bernstein.
This concert is a bridge between cultures — a musical dialogue without borders. Lasting about 60 minutes with no intermission, it offers a fully immersive classical experience, accessible to everyone regardless of language or background.
