Sunday magic in the very heart of Prague. 🏛✨

Yesterday at 4 PM, Smetana Hall in the Municipal House was filled with sounds that touch the soul. This wasn't just a concert—it was a journey.

From the powerful, epic canvases of Czech geniuses Smetana and Dvořák, where you can hear the spirit of Czechia itself, to the refined, shimmering worlds of Maurice Ravel—the program was flawless.

Evenings like this stay in your memory forever. Thank you, Prague, for this music! ❤️
