The Metropolitan Chapter of St. Vitus in Prague, in cooperation with the Prague Castle Administration, is proud to present the 15th annual International Organ Music Festival at the Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslaus, and Adalbert.

St. Vitus Organ Evenings is a unique summer festival that offers you the opportunity to listen to masterpieces of organ music right in the heart of the Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslaus, and Adalbert at Prague Castle.

Each year, the festival brings leading organists from both the Czech Republic and abroad to the cathedral. This year will be no exception, as we welcome performers from the USA, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and the Czech Republic. The program will be further enriched by a concert featuring a symphony orchestra and a special evening with a guest soloist on the French horn. A true celebration of organ music awaits.

The 15th edition will be extraordinary in many respects. For the first time, the festival will feature the new and long-awaited cathedral organ. Additionally, visitors can look forward to a double portion of musical experiences, with a total of ten concert evenings.
