Municipal House
The Art Nouveau Municipal House and the Gothic Powder Tower appear to be good old friends in an embrace that bridges not only Celetná Street but also the centuries separating their construction. It seems as if this magical place was predestined to become a crossroads of the Bohemian past.
At the moment, the Municipal House hosts a number of exhibits of leading artists, but mainly it serves as a house of music, operated in one of Prague’s largest halls – Smetana Hall. An ingenious elevation “raises” the audience to an even better view of the orchestra. Its main advantage, however, is creating pleasant acoustics.
The Czech National Symphonic Orchestra was established by trumpeter Jan Hasenöhrl in 1993. In addition to its own subscription concerts in the Municipal House’s Smetana Hall, the orchestra also records in its own Hostivař recording studio and accompanies world-class stars of classical music and jazz on global tours.

Since 2005, the Czech National Symphonic Orchestra has been organising a summer festival called PRAGUE PROMS, introducing renowned Czech and international classical music and jazz artists to Prague music audiences. The many stars that have shined at the festival include the phenomenal Ennio Morricone, sopranist Anna Netrebko, film score composer Danny Elfman and jazz pianist Chick Corea.
