Advent Concerts
This year, we will see the first concert of the popular series a week before the first Sunday of Advent. The last one falls on Christmas Eve and it is better to enjoy the carols in a family circle. Christmas-themed programmes performed by the chamber ensembles of the Czech Philharmonic members and their guests will be presented in the Suk Hall.
