Cantate Prague
Only a few cities in Europe offer the historical and cultural richness that the Czech capital of Prague has to offer. The musical tradition not only resides in the prestigious concert halls of the “Golden City,” but also resonates through its streets and taverns. Smetana, Dvorak, and Mozart have set the musical tone for Prague; today, this legacy lives on through contemporary talents like Petr Eben and Zdenek Lukáš.
Cantate Prague is an event that has been held continuously since 1999, organized by music & friends, aimed at local and international choirs. All choir performances take place at the most prominent Christmas market, located in Prague’s Old Town Square, and are held during the weekends. Many choirs have participated in this event on several occasions over the past years, further enriching this unique experience.
If you want to be part of this musical celebration, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us and join this captivating choral experience in the wonderful city of Prague!
