About event
Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague (BSOP) Christmas concert in the Old Town of Prague. The U Salvátora Church in the Old Town will resound with the world's most famous Christmas and classical melodies performed by members of the Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague.
The right Christmas atmosphere is not complete without the melodies that are inextricably linked to the festive season. The members of the prestigious Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague (in the chamber cast) have therefore prepared a unique evening full of the most famous melodies, which will fill the U Salvátora church in the Old Town on December 26.
The chamber concert will offer a festive, yet perfectly varied musical mix. It will include traditional Christmas compositions such as O Holy Night (Cantique de Noël) by the French composer Adoph Adam to the French text of the poem Minuit, chrétiens (Midnight, Christians) by Placide Cappeau. The English text of this song was written by the Unitarian preacher John Sullivan Dwight in 1855. The French and both versions of the English text celebrate the birth of Jesus and commemorate the salvation of mankind.
And Gruber's Silent Night, which we all know under the name Silent Night, cannot be missed either night (German Stille Nacht). This is one of the most famous Christmas songs ever. It was first performed by the teacher and organist Franz Xaver Gruber and the local chaplain and poet Joseph Mohr in the church of St. Nicholas in the Austrian town of Oberndorf near Salzburg on Christmas Eve in 1818. The text of the song, celebrating the beauty of Christmas night, was written by chaplain Mohr as early as 1816 in the parish of Mariapfarr. Before Christmas 1818, Gruber composed a melody for his poem.
You can reminisce about the whole year during the work of the Italian Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi: The Four Seasons. The four concerts for solo violin Spring – Summer – Autumn and Winter will take you through each season in turn. You will hear, for example, the singing of birds in the spring, a brook, a shepherd's idyll, a country dance, a summer storm and gale, an autumn harvest and a hunt, or winter cold, wind, rain, fire in the hearth and ice skating.
Your choice. lovers of the greatest masters of world classics will also come. Pachelbel's Canon (full German name: Kanon und Gigue in D-Dur für drei Violinen und Basso Continuo) is one of the most famous works of classical music ever. He composed it around 1680 as church music for three violins and basso continuo. However, the composition has since been rewritten for a number of other musical instruments.
