Musical Journey Through Prague
Prague’s Old Town is one of the most musical places in Europe — and most people walking through it have no idea. Marek brings that history to life through stories, humor, and live guitar performance at the exact spots where it all happened.
The Journey
We start behind the Estates Theatre — the exact spot where Mozart conducted his world premiere of Don Giovanni in 1787. From there, we walk to Old Town Square, where Smetana founded his music school. Past the Rudolfinum, where Dvořák conducted world premieres. Across Charles Bridge to Cihelná — a quiet spot by the Vltava, where we stop and play. And finally to the Lennon Wall, where Praguers came at night to write song lyrics on the stone, even when it was forbidden.
The Experience
Every stop has its own sound. Sometimes live guitar, sometimes a recording played through a speaker — Smetana’s Vltava by the river, Dvořák where he actually conducted. And sometimes just a story, told in the right place at the right moment. Nothing is there by accident.
