In Prague, you can visit dozens of places every day and evening where you can enjoy quality classical music. And one of those places is the Spanish Synagogue in the center of Prague, where you can enjoy Prague classical music concerts.
One of the main reasons to visit a concert in the Spanish Synagogue is the setting itself. The synagogue is located in Prague`s Josefov, in the historic center. A concert in such a space has a different atmosphere than a regular evening at the speakers. You listen to the music live and at the same time you are surrounded by historical architecture. The combination of classical music and historical Prague can be interesting even for those who do not normally go to classical music concerts.
The idea that a classical music concert is intended only for music experts can be unnecessarily discouraging. On the contrary. The program of these concerts is compiled in such a way that listeners can discover familiar melodies and famous works.
What makes the concerts interesting is the diversity of the repertoire. Classical music here does not have to mean only compositions by old masters. The Hallelujah program, for example, combines works by classical composers such as Verdi, Handel, and Puccini with more modern music. The program features well-known names that are familiar even to those who are otherwise unfazed by classical music.
The concerts feature the Czech Collegium chamber ensemble with soloists. The live performance is one of the main reasons why it is worth going to a concert. You can play the recording at any time at home, but a concert is a unique moment that occurs directly in front of the audience. You perceive not only the music itself, but also the space, acoustics, and the interplay of individual musicians. The concert does not have to be the only point on the program. The Spanish Synagogue is located in Josefov, so you can combine your visit with dinner at one of the restaurants in the center of Prague and a subsequent walk through the Old Town.
