Sinfonietta Cracovia live in Prague

Experience Sinfonietta Cracovia live on December 1st

Sinfonietta Cracovia, a Polish chamber orchestra founded in 1994, will perform at the Church of St Simon and St Jude (Kostel Sv. Simona A Juda) in Prague on December 1st, 2026. The orchestra is known for its versatile repertoire spanning from baroque to contemporary music, with a particular focus on interpretations informed by historical performance practice. They frequently collaborate with both established and emerging soloists and composers, and are recognized for their dynamic performances across a wide range of musical genres.

The Church of St Simon and St Jude dates back to the mid-14th century, originally constructed as a Gothic chapel dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria. Significant rebuilding occurred in the Baroque period during the 17th and 18th centuries, giving it its current appearance. The church is noted for its ornate stucco work by Jan Brokoff and his workshop, including detailed depictions of saints and biblical scenes. Throughout its history, the church has served various religious orders and experienced periods of both prosperity and decline; it currently functions as a parish church within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Prague. Its acoustics are considered favorable for chamber music performances due to its size and architectural features.
