On this exciting trip in a time machine, we examine what music was heard on Prague’s streets and what tunes people where whistling as they walked. So get ready and hold on tight… we’re starting the machine! But we’ll have to be careful not to go all the way back to the days of the dinosaurs!

What kind of music is playing when film superheroes are jumping over Prague’s rooftops? And how does music go together with modern technology? This concert is full of smartphones, tablets, films, animation, and above all the thing that not even the most modern technology can replace – wonderful live music.

Jazz, swing, balls, dancing… a high-spirited concert where you will learn why you can clap along with music and why a trombonist who uses a mute is not stifled. Also awaiting you is your own Christmas song hit parade like on radio in the old days! We’re on our way to Prague of the early 20th century in the days before Christmas.

Someone is whistling a tune on the street right in front of the Rudolfinum, which had even been built yet. And the person is whistling a famous melody by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. How is this possible? And who is it? Come solve this mystery with us at a concert full of wigs, beautiful dresses, and Mozart’s music.

Have you heard of the Golem? We will examine the oldest and most exciting legends of Prague’s Jewish quarter with Jewish music, of course. We’ll be singing, dancing, and telling old stories about the giant made of clay and much more.

Using a time machine, on this occasion we will take several time jumps, and we will find out what kind of music the walls of the Rudolfinum prefer to listen to. In our time travels, we will be encountering a number of great composers, and with them we will even be able to discover the mystery of the Spirit of Music itself. The climax of this exciting game for the whole family will be a concert. A reward is guaranteed for everyone who plays!
We also prepare the game On the Trail of the Spirit of Music. It will take place on the day of the concert, i.e. 07 June 2020, and it is intended for teams of 2–5 members. Each team will have at least one adult (who is responsible for the children during the game). Participants must have a valid ticket to the concert of the Orchestral Academy of the Czech Philharmonic on the same day. The game will take place in the area near the Rudolfinum. The number of participants is limited.
Registration of participants will begin at 11:30 a.m. in the foyer of the Rudolfinum. The game will last ca. 1 hour. Details will be published on the Czech Philharmonic website (in the section Czech Philharmonic – The Serial).
