Music from dazzling 18th century Prague

The Kingdom of Bohemia doesn’t get much airtime in the history of Baroque music. But far from being a musical backwater, 18th century Prague boasted a dazzling array of musical talents.

Directed by Nate Hegelson, the SBO will bring you back in time exploring some of the finest Czech composers of the age.
