It is tradition for the Czech Philharmonic to end its season with a free Open Air Concert on Hradčany Square. The orchestra will be joined by the winner of the Jiří Bělohlávek Prize, clarinetist Anna Paulová. She will shine especially in the world premiere of Pauliana for clarinet and orchestra by Jiří Gemrot. After a successful debut last year, conductor Dalia Stasevska will take up the baton.

Dear listeners,
Join us as we bring the season to a close under the open sky. We’ll be setting up 700 seats on Hradčany Square, available on a first-come, first-served basis—so arriving early is your best bet.
Last year’s changeable weather didn’t stop us, and we’re not worried this time either. Still, a raincoat might be wise, as umbrellas can block the view for others.
Public restrooms (including one accessible toilet) will be available behind the seating area on Hradčanské Square, across from the Schwarzenberg Palace/Carmelite Monastery.
There won’t be any refreshments on site, but we promise you’ll leave well-nourished by beautiful music.
After the concert, a special route through Prague Castle will be open, taking you across the 4th courtyard to the Prašný most.
We look forward to seeing you—come rain or shine!
