Filharmonie Hradec Králové live in Litomyšl

Experience Filharmonie Hradec Králové live on July 5th

Filharmonie Hradec Králové is a Czech professional orchestra with a repertoire spanning classical music from the Baroque period through to contemporary compositions. The ensemble frequently performs standard orchestral works alongside pieces by Czech composers, and is known for its commitment to both traditional interpretations and innovative programming.

The concert on July 5th, 2026 will take place within the Church of the Finding of the Holy Cross (Kostel Nalezení Svatého Kříže) in Litomyšl. This church is a significant example of late Gothic architecture, originally constructed in the 15th century, though undergoing substantial Baroque modifications in the 18th century. It’s particularly noted for its ribbed vaulting and historical connection to the Pernštejn family, whose patronage heavily influenced its development.

The church’s acoustics are considered favourable for orchestral performances due to its stone construction and spacious interior. Litomyšl Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is located nearby and historically, the church served as a key religious centre for the town and surrounding region. The building has been carefully preserved and continues to function as an active place of worship alongside hosting cultural events.
