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.
In the 22 years since its inception, The Lucerna Music Bar has become one of the most important music venues in the Czech Republic. The location has a rich cultural tradition and prides itself on making every concert a very special experience, where the artists seem to be within grasp during their performance on the famous round stage. Hundreds of local and foreign bands have already performed on this stage.Just to mention a few are artists such as: Joss Stone, Earth, Wind & Fire, Maceo Parker, Hurts, The Parov Stelar Band, Stephen and Kymani Marley, Major Lazer, Living Colour, Keisza, The Subways, Two Door Cinema Club, Incognito, Pat Metheny, Robben Ford, Mos Def, Mark Lanegan and José González. An all-time favorite are the 80’s & 90’s video-parties, which have been taking place every Friday and Saturday since 2000.
The history of the Lucerna Music Bar goes back to the beginning of the 20th century, when the Palace Lucerna was build. By 1909 the club was already used as a theatre and later as a cabaret under Karel Hašler. The next important step in the history of the Lucerna Music Bar is the year 1927, when the Cabaret – Restaurant Lucerna opened. Many famous Czech artists performed here (Voskovec and Werich) and popular jazz bands played and filled the dancefloor. After 1948 the whole Lucerna palace, which was property of the Havel family, was nationalized. In the dark days of communism the club was used as a night club without any real focus. 20 years ago, on October 25th, 1995, the new era of the Lucerna Music Bar had begun. We strongly believe that era will continue on for at least the next 20 years.
Malostranská beseda is a concert hall, music and theater club in the very heart of Malá Strana. It is also a gallery that hosts interesting exhibitions, restaurant, a cafe and a beer hall tapping beer at an excellent level. It is a nice place for fun, dinner or beer with friends. But most of all, it is a building with a century-old tradition. In addition to concerts and theater performances, these spaces can also be used for social events such as balls, conferences, banquets and more.
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.
