On March 20, 2027, Thierry Escaich will present a concert at Smetana Hall within Prague’s Municipal House. Escaich is a contemporary French composer and organist whose musical style is characterized by a vibrant blend of neo-romanticism, jazz influences, and a strong rhythmic drive. His compositions often explore complex harmonies and textures, frequently incorporating improvisation and a distinctly colorful orchestration. He is known for works spanning orchestral pieces, chamber music, and significant contributions to the organ repertoire.

The Municipal House (Obecní dům) is a celebrated example of Art Nouveau architecture in Prague, completed in 1912. Smetana Hall, its principal concert venue, is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and opulent design. The hall was named in honour of Czech composer Bedřich Smetana, and features murals and decorative elements by leading Czech artists of the period, including Alfons Mucha. It has historically hosted performances by prominent orchestras and soloists from around the world and remains a central location for classical music events in the Czech Republic. The hall’s capacity is approximately 1,400 seats.
