Last evening in Prague

The Church of St Nicholas in Old-Town Square has early evening concerts. The Church is used as a place of worship by the  Czechoslovak Hussite Church - a denomination that was founded in 1920. The building though is Baroque and was built in 1735.
The concert was organ and soprano. 

Some interesting organ pieces were. Suite Gothique by Leon Boellmann (1862-1897), Cesar Franck’s Choral III (1822-1890).

The soprano consisted mostly of popular pieces like an aria from the Messiah, Schubert’s Ave Maria and Mozart’s Alleluja from the motet “Exsultate Jubilate”. 

By the time the concert had finished it was dark outside and the floodlighting is of another building across Old-Town Square.
