Initially, a chapel consecrated to Saints Simon and Judah was built in 1354
in the campus of newly founded hospital. The chapel was enlarged during centuries to a church
competing with famous St.Vitus´s Cathedral. In years 1722-25 the church was rebuilt in high barocco
style and new organ was installed displaying an excellent authentic sound. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Josef Haydn
played this instrument for its properties. The organ is still in operation and the participants can listen
to organ preluds since 19:30 before the start of the Symposium Concert.
The Church is now the property of the Brothers of Charity and administrated by the FOK Orchestra
who use it as a music hall distinguishing itself by excellent acoustics and baroque atmosphere.
The compositions of W.A. Mozart and world-famous Czech masters (B. Smetana, A. Dvořák and L. Janáček)
will be presented by
Praga Camerata chamber symphonic orchestra,
which is known in Europe, Canada and Japan (program).
