Beethoven was a great inspiration to Schubert, and although both men were Viennese, they probably never met. We're in luck tonight: they'll both be with us. Beethoven's septet will put us in a good mood that will last until the end of the work. Even Schubert and his octet will not shake us out of this sweet balance.

Beethoven & Schubert

Church of Saints Simon and Jude

Together with the actress Martha Issová, we are going to discover a land of wonders – and not only musical ones. Our new programme, based on a script by Alice Nellis, introduces music as a part of life. We’ll discover how music can help us in our lives, where its power comes from, and above all… magic. It wouldn’t work without the musicians – the Czech Philharmonic Cimbalom Ensemble is looking forward to seeing you.
