Filharmonie Brno live in Brno

Experience Filharmonie Brno live on August 23rd

Filharmonie Brno is a Czech orchestral ensemble with a repertoire spanning classical, romantic, and 20th/21st-century works. The orchestra frequently performs standard orchestral literature alongside compositions by Czech composers, and is known for its commitment to both traditional interpretations and contemporary musical expression.

The concert on August 23, 2026 will take place at Hrad Špilberk, a significant historical landmark in Brno. Originally constructed in the 13th century, Špilberk Castle served as a royal castle and seat of the Moravian margraves. Throughout its history, it underwent several reconstructions reflecting changing architectural styles – Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements are all visible.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, Špilberk was notoriously used as a formidable prison, earning it the nickname “Siberia of the Austrian Empire.” Political prisoners were held within its walls under harsh conditions. Following extensive renovations in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Špilberk was repurposed as a cultural venue and museum.
