The Pilsen Conservatory opened the House of Music in Pilsen in September 2009, where the new Antonín Dvořák Concert Hall is located. This concert hall is designed for chamber and classical music. The capacity of the hall is 150 listeners. The hall has all the accessories that belong to a modern concert hall - changing rooms for performers and audiences, a small restaurant, a recording studio, etc. The hall is equipped with a new, Steinway concert piano. The hall will be used for concert activities not only of the Pilsen Conservatory, which operates the House of Music, but will also be intended for public concerts. The hall can also be rented.
Lucerna is one of the best known halls in the centre of Prague, mainly for concerts, balls, dancing competitions etc. The capacity is over 2 500 people.
The objective of the project is to create in Pilsen a truly working interdisciplinary space, which offers desired background to artists and visitors, as well as the high quality of cultural events themselves.

The most recently added Rudolfinum hall was built between 1940 and 1942 under the project of architects Antonín Engel and Bohumír Kozák. This smaller concert hall, whose construction was carried out simultaneously with interventions in the adjacent Dvořák Hall, was decorated in a style inspired by Zítek’s and Schulz’s original designs, which makes it fit perfectly within the original concept of the building.
As incredible as it may seem, Club 007 Strahov is one of the longest running music clubs in Prague. And over the past few years, it’s been one of the most active as well, as far as concerts by artists from all over the world are concerned.
