Advent Concerts • Four afternoon concerts

The 125th season will only have four of the popular Advent concerts held in the Rudolfinum’s Suk Hall on Advent Sundays at 3 pm. But their exciting programmes and performers will certainly offer you the best of the chamber ensembles of Czech Philharmonic musicians and their guests.

Advent Concerts

Beginning with our 125th season, for organisational reasons and because of capacity, there will be only four of the popular concerts given each Sunday of Advent in the Suk Hall at the Rudolfinum – just one each week at 3 p.m. The offering of attractive programmes and performers definitely will not suffer; you will hear the best that chamber ensembles consisting of orchestra members and their guests have to offer. You can add to your enjoyment of a concert by preceding or following it with a visit to the Café Rudolfinum.
