St. Francis Of Assisi Church
St Francis Church is one of the most beautiful baroque churches of Prague. You can find it at Křížovnické náměstí 3, Prague 1 Although the original baroque pews offer only 70 seats, it has long and important music tradition. This organ concert series runs continuously from 1993 to nowadays, yearly and daily from Easter to November, and it's longest uninterrupted Prague Organ concert cycle. Organ of St. Francis church is an important historic instrument built in 1702 by Master Abraham Stark from Elgbogen in Western Bohemia. Many famous musitians, as for example Amadeus Mozart or Antonin Dvorak, played this organ in the past. This rare organ is the second oldest in Prague, but oldest one you can hear at concert.
