TO THE CORINTHIA HOTELS
Dear Guest,
Summer may have ended, but autumn in Prague is a special time too.
This issue of Guest @ Corinthia is therefore packed with tips for enjoying
the spirit of the city. Soak up the special atmosphere of autumn near the
Castle, where you will find some of Prague’s most magical (and tranquil)
streets. And how about a trip outside of the city, to one of several firstclass museums in Bohemia? You could learn about the story of that Czech
symbol, Škoda, or go down a medieval silver mine in the historic town
of Kutná Hora. And when it comes to cultural activities, Prague offers as
diverse a choice as always.
And at Corinthia we help make your autumn in Prague unforgettable.
The Touch and Taste South Africa event will be the highlight of the season
at Corinthia Towers Hotel. You could also tantalise your taste buds with
typical Mediterranean dishes made from the very best ingredients at Piazza
Restaurant at Corinthia Panorama Hotel. At the Top Deck Health and Fitness
Centre at Corinthia Panorama you can refresh yourself body and soul after
a long day exploring Prague’s sights.
Prague is an amazing city, and we at Corinthia help to make your visit an
amazing experience. We are delighted to invite you to feel the Corinthia
Spirit of warmth, colour and vitality.

VÍTEJTE V CORINTHIA HOTELECH
Vážení hosté,
ačkoli léto skončilo, podzim v Praze je také výjimečným obdobím.
Toto vydání Guest @ Corinthia je proto plné tipů, jak dokonale
nasát atmosféru podzimu v okolí Hradčan anebo jak poznat
českou historii v regionálních muzeích nedaleko od Prahy.
Zaměstnanci Corinthia hotelů se postarají o to, abyste na
svůj podzimní pobyt v Praze nezapomněli. V restauraci Piazza
v hotelu Corinthia Panorama si například můžete pochutnat na
jídlech středomořské kuchyně anebo ve fitness klubu Top Deck
v tomtéž hotelu můžete provětrat své tělo a mysl po dlouhém dni
stráveném prohlížením pražských pamětihodností.
Praha je úžasné město a my v hotelech Corinthia uděláme
všechno pro to, aby i váš pobyt byl úžasný. Užijte si naší vřelé
pohostinnosti v duchu společnosti Corinthia.

The best four Museums to
visit outside Prague
° Prague has a wonderful collection of museums, but do not forget that outside the capital there is an equally diverse collection of fascinating
museums. Some focus on themes and topics that are closely identified with Bohemia, such as beer or glassmaking, with three of the museums we have
mentioned being examples of this. All those listed below are within a 90-minute drive from Prague, so they are easy to reach. And there are plenty of
other things to see and do near the museums – Kutná Hora for example is registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
1. MUSEUM OF GLASS
AND JEWELLERY
JABLONEC NAD NISOU,
NORTH BOHEMIA
2. CZECH MUSEUM OF SILVER
KUTNÁ HORA,
CENTRAL BOHEMIA
Did you know that the Czech
lands were once a leading centre
of glassmaking? The towns of
Liberec and Jablonec nad Nisou, in
north-eastern Bohemia were once
the heart of this thriving industry,
which enjoyed its peak in the 19th
century. Although it is no longer
what it was, the industry left its
mark on these towns in many
ways, including the beautiful Art
Nouveau villas owned by wealthy
industrialists.
The museum itself is housed in
a striking Art Nouveau structure
(where you will find the main
It is hard to believe that this sleepy
little town south-east of Prague
was once a centre of the mining
industry in the Middle Ages and
was actually bigger than it is today.
Silver gave the town its name,
made it rich and helped build one
of the most beautiful cathedrals in
Central Europe.
Kutná Hora grew rich in the Middle
Ages, when silver deposits were
discovered, but its glory was later
to fade in the 17th century, when
competition from mines in South
America made Kutná Hora silver
too expensive.
collections) and in the Belvedere
Gallery. The range of subjects
covered is very diverse, with
two main collections and 19 subcollections, displaying everything
from medals, to painted goblets
from the 17th century. There is also
an extensive jet jewellery collection
and look out for glass by Moser
and works by Adolf Loos, the
designer famous for his buildings
in Vienna. If you prefer modern
glass design, there are works by
contemporary Czech designers too.
Regular temporary exhibitions are
staged at the museum too.

With 170,000 items, including
a large collection of coins, the
Czech Museum of Silver helps
visitors gain a better understanding
of this history and of silver mining
itself. It is housed in three sites
in the town. Hrádek, the former
medieval mint, contains the main
section. Learn more about silver
mining on Tour 1 – “The Way of
Silver”; Tour 2 – “The Town of
Silver” focuses on Kutná Hora
and includes a highlight of the
visit, the tour through a 250m-long
mine gallery. Put on a hard hat and
a white coat and go underground!

mimopražská muzea
V Praze je mnoho vynikajících muzeí, avšak nezapomínejme, že i jiná
města se mohou pyšnit skvělými muzejními exponáty. Pár takových
muzeí uvádíme níže.
3. ŠKODA AUTO MUSEUM
MLADÁ BOLESLAV
CENTRAL BOHEMIA
Muzeum skla a bižuterie Jablonec nad Nisou, Severní Čechy
Muzeum se nachází v krásné secesní budově (kde jsou umístěny
hlavní sbírky) a Galerii Belveder. Sbírky nabízejí různé exponáty. Dvě
hlavní sbírky představují vše od medailí až po číše ze 17. století. Je
zde také rozsáhlá sbírka šperků z černého jantaru a za zhlédnutí stojí
i sklo Moser a práce Adolfa Loose. Pokud dáváte přednost modernímu
sklářskému umění, muzeum vystavuje i práce současných českých
návrhářů. Lze navštívit i pravidelné výstavy.
www.msb-jablonec.cz
Muzeum českého stříbra, Kutná Hora, Střední Čechy
Městečko východně od Prahy, Kutná Hora, bylo kdysi velmi významným
centrem. Ve středověku velmi bohatlo, když zde bylo objeveno stříbro.
Sláva města však později upadala, jelikož se kutnohorské stříbro stalo
v konkurenci jiných dolů příliš drahým.
Muzeum umožňuje návštěvníkům lépe pochopit historii a těžbu stříbra.
Nachází se na třech místech ve městě. Hrádek, bývalá středověká mincovna, představuje hlavní expozici. Poznejte lépe těžbu stříbra díky
prohlídkám s průvodcem, z nichž jedna zahrnuje zlatý hřeb v podobě
průchodu 250 metrů dlouhou důlní galerií.

The Škoda car, like beer, is a Czech
icon. This famous brand has
a much longer history than most
people realise, and the company
celebrated its 100th anniversary last
year; not many car manufacturers
can do so. If you want to learn
more about the story of the brand
you will see everywhere in the
Czech Republic, head to Mladá
Boleslav, north-east of Prague.
For Czechs, Mladá Boleslav is
synonymous with Škoda. The
car plant, now owned by the
Volkswagen Group, is located here,
as well as the museum.
It traces of the history of the
company which started out as
Laurin & Klement producing the
L & K bicycle and then its first car
in 1905. The exhibitions include
a presentation of the company
history, with the full range of
Škoda models, from the early
days, through the 1930s, when the
successful Škoda Popular arrived
on the market, to the current
models.
Yo u c a n a l s o t r a c e t h e d e v e lopment of car engines at the
Engine Gallery and see vehicles
awaiting restoration.
Muzeum Škoda Auto, Mladá Boleslav
Automobily Škoda, stejně jako pivo, představují českou ikonu. Pokud se
chcete dozvědět více o historii značky, s níž se můžete setkat po celé
České republice, vydejte se do Mladé Boleslavi, města severovýchodně
od Prahy. Pro Čechy je Mladá Boleslav synonymem značky Škoda. Zde
se nachází automobilový závod, který nyní patří do skupiny Volkswagen
Group, i muzeum. Představuje historii společnosti, která vyrobila první
automobil Voiturette A jako firma Laurin & Klement v roce 1905. Výstava
zahrnuje prezentaci historie společnosti se všemi modely automobilů
Škoda, od prvních aut přes modely z 30. let až po moderní vozy.
Můžete se také nechat poučit o vývoji automobilových motorů v Galerii
motorů a vidět historická vozidla čekající na renovaci.

Lisbon
Summer is now over, but if you are still hankering after
warm, sunny days then Lisbon is an ideal destination.
Its bright, warm weather continues into September and
October. The city itself is one of Europe’s most laidback capitals, offering you plenty of things to see and
do without the stress of the larger cities.
Indeed, just wandering the streets can be a pleasure,
and even if you do not visit any of the museums or
galleries you can still enjoy Lisbon. Contrast is one of
the strongest themes you will notice in the capital. Start
off in the Baixa, or Lower Town, and notice the grand
buildings and long avenues. This is the very heart of the
city, with two great squares, Praça de Rossio and Praça
de Comércio. The former is full of cafés from which to
watch life go by and is a focal point of Lisbon. Then the
atmosphere changes noticeably in the districts of Alfama
and Bairro Alto. Both are situated on steep hills and can
be reached by Lisbon’s charmingly old-fashioned trams
or, in the case of Bairro Alto, by the famous Elevador
da Glória. These districts of steep narrow lanes and
village-like atmosphere seem a world away from the
grand thoroughfares of Baixa. Beyond this area are two
more well-known attractions: the superb Monastery of
Jerónimos, famous for its decoration and vaulting, and
the Torre de Belém, a symbol of the city.
Corinthia Lisboa Hotel
And when choosing a base, whether you are here for
business or pleasure, you need look no further than
the Corinthia Lisboa Hotel. A sophisticated, modern
5-star hotel very conveniently located only a few
minutes away from the most important attractions, it
will help you get the most out of your visit.
You can be right at the very heart of the city in no time
at all, and there you have all the historic sights close
by, as well as the main shopping areas and nightlife.
Lisbon’s airport is just 7 km from the hotel.
The hotel was completely refurbished in 2005 and
offers the very best in terms of comfort and facilities.
The 518 rooms come under the categories of Standard,
Executive and Suites, blending good design and stylish
comfort.
Business visitors can enjoy the exclusive use of our
Executive Club offering superb views over Lisbon.
The Club has private check-in and check-out benefits,
two conference rooms, and a business centre with free
internet access .
When it comes to eating and drinking, you can
choose from a mouth-watering selection of local or
international dishes at the Típico and Sete Collinas
restaurants. And once you have had a meal why not
relax with a cool cocktail at the cosmopolitan Tempus
Lounge Bar? Or you could unwind in the beautiful
terrace garden.
And if you want to keep fit you can take advantage
of the excellent Lisbon climate to enjoy our outdoor
swimming pool.
Whatever your reason for visiting and however long
you choose to stay in Lisbon, we will do our very best
to make you feel at home. Welcome to Lisbon!

Nový Svět is one of the most beautiful and peaceful corners of historic Prague
Discover Prague’s most
beautiful backstreets
° Cobbled lanes that twist among
modest Baroque houses. Tiny redroofed cottages that seem to be
designed only for the inhabitants
of Lilliput. There is a world within
a world in the Golden City of
Prague. A world that beckons and
is only a few steps away from
Prague Castle. You can find it at
Nový Svět in Hradčany.
Evocative and magical are words
often used to describe Prague, and
indeed Hradčany is Prague at its
most evocative and magical. Sadly,
many visitors don’t experience
this district properly because they
focus on the Castle. So let us take
you on a journey to this enchanting
world that has some of the bestkept secrets in Prague.
Guest @
A clear, still autumn day is perfect
for a wander around Hradčany.
The light is sharp, the summer
heat has gone, and the vibrant
yellow and orange leaves of the
stately horse chestnut trees form
a perfect backdrop to the scene.
Smoke rises lazily from Baroque
chimneys, its aroma filling the air
and drifting over curving red roofs.
There are few more romantic ways
of spending an afternoon or early
evening.
Route
A word of warning! Sturdy footwear is recommended for the walk
described below. The cobbled
streets will surely captivate you,
but they will not captivate your feet
if they aren’t dressed properly!
From Prague Castle entrance (Hradčanské náměstí) walk across to the
Archbishop’s Palace, the graceful
and imposing Baroque building
immediately to the right of the
Castle, and continue along this
side of the square. The Šternberský
palác (Sternberk Palace) collection
of the National Gallery is situated
behind the Palace. It’s a must, but
leave it for another time...
Mozart’s other house in Prague
At the end of the square, just before
you turn on to Kanovnická Street,
you will spot a handsome Baroque
structure (No 65/6). It was once
the home to Jiří Mucha until his
death in 1991. He was the son of
the famous Art Nouveau painter
Alfons Mucha and a notable
figure in his own right. Guests
at this house included Henry
Kissinger and Miloš Forman, who
filmed “Amadeus” in Prague
partly because it looked more like
Mozart’s Vienna than the Austrian
capital itself. And if you remember
“Amadeus”, the house on the right
(No 68/5) may just be familiar
– in the film Mozart lived here.
Look out for the sign with a dove
holding an anchor in its beak. Such
symbols are a feature of Prague
and were used in the way door
numbers are used today.
On your right, at the end of Hradčanské náměstí is an older structure, the Martinický palác (Martinic
Palace), named after the owner, one
of the victims of the Defenestration
of Prague and who ended up in
Objevte nejkrásnější
skryté uličky Prahy
Dlážděné uličky vinoucí se mezi neokázalými barokními domy.
Domečky s červenou střechou jako stvořené pro obyvatele země
Liliput. Takové jsou Hradčany.
Tiny windows and old street lamps add to the charm of Hradcany
the Castle dungheap. The palace
dates from the 17th century and
the excellent sgrafitto work was
discovered during restoration.
It depicts scenes from the Old
Testament.
Where time stands still
Turn right into Kanovnická street.
Modern life has almost passed
this quarter by, and with only the
slightest imagination you could
imagine Mozart’s Prague. There
is peace and quiet here, and it
seems that the only sounds to be
heard are the tunes of the Loreto
carillon. Ahead is the white garrison church of St John of Nepomuk.
Continue straight on. You are now
on Nový Svět (New World), which
takes its name from a new quarter,
traditionally a poor area.
No. 76/1 features a plaque testifying that the famous Danish
astronomer Tycho de Brahe lived
here. The story goes that Brahe
died after overindulging at the
court, but the reality is duller
– he actually succumbed to liver
failure. The house was also the
birthplace of Czech tennis star
Jaroslav Drobný. Next door is
“U Zlaté hrušky” (“At the Golden
Pear“) restaurant’, one of Prague’s
most romantically situated eateries.
You will be charmed by this lane,
its narrowness; trees lining one
side; the jumble of quaint houses
and their uneven facades. There are
also many little details, which add
to the special atmosphere of Nový
Svět: for example the building with
a "požární automat" beside the
door, an early form of fire alarm.
Nový Svět turns into Černínská, an
exceedingly charming spot which
you have probably seen on many
postcards of Prague but wondered
where it was.
Surrealism in Nový Svět
This area has been associated
with various artists, including Jan
Švankmajer, the famous Surrealist,
who owns the Gambra gallery at
Černínská Street No. 5. Continue
up this street and you will come
to the plain, yellow Capuchin
m o n a s t e r y. A h e a d l o o m s t h e
huge Černín Palace, Prague’s
largest palace and now housing
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Facing it is the ornate Loreta,
famous for its hourly chimes. Our
little tour ends here, but you can
continue to Loretánská Street and
then you can either turn right to
Pohořelec or along to the Castle.
The atmosphere here is different,
and the streets are busier. But
whenever you want to avoid the
crowds and noise, you can always
escape to the secret, magical world
of Nový Svět.
Kouzelná je slovo, jakým často popisujeme Prahu. A pražské
Hradčany skutečně kouzelné jsou. Bohužel mnoho návštěvníků
o tom nemá ani tušení. Pojďte nyní s námi do vzrušujícího světa
s nejpřísněji střeženými tajemstvími v Praze. Slunce jasně svítí, ale
letní horka jsou minulostí. Není moc romantičtějších způsobů jak
strávit odpoledne nebo podvečer.
Po stopách známých tváří
Od brány Pražského hradu jděte k Arcibiskupskému paláci, barokní
budově po pravé straně, a pokračujte po této straně náměstí. Na
jeho konci, těsně před ulicí Kanovnická, spatříte krásnou barokní
budovu (č. 65/60), v níž žil až do své smrti v roce 1991 Jiří Mucha.
Tento dům navštívil i Henry Kissinger a Miloš Forman, který v Praze
točil svůj film Amadeus. Pokud si vzpomenete na tento film, může
vám připadat povědomý dům vpravo (č. 68/5) – ve filmu v něm žil
Mozart. Prohlédněte si zde zajímavý erb s holubicí a kotvou. Vpravo
na konci Hradčanského náměstí je stará budova, Martinický palác,
pojmenovaný po svém majiteli, jedné z obětí Pražské defenestrace.
Palác byl postaven v 17. století a během rekonstrukce bylo odhaleno
nádherné sgrafito, zobrazující scény ze Starého zákona.
Kde se zastavil čas
Zabočte vpravo do Kanovnické ulice, kde může klid narušit snad jen
zvonkohra Lorety. Před vámi je bílý kostel sv. Jana Nepomuckého.
Pokračujte rovně a ocitnete se v Novém Světě. Pamětní deska na
budově č. 76/1 oznamuje, že zde žil slavný dánský astronom Tycho
de Brahe. Legenda praví, že Brahe zemřel po přílišném hodování
na královském dvoře, ale realita je prostší – ve skutečnosti skonal
na selhání jater. Budova vedle je restaurace U Zlaté hrušky, jeden
z nejromantičtějších restaurantů v Praze. Budete okouzleni touto
uličkou a jejím půvabem. Najdete tu tolik malých detailů, které
přispívají ke zvláštní atmosféře Nového Světa: například budova
s požárním automatem u dveří.
Surrealismus v Novém Světě
Tato čtvrť byla spojována s mnoha umělci, včetně Jana Švankmajera,
slavného surrealisty, který vlastní galerii Gambra v Černínské ulici
č. 5. Pokračujte ulicí a dojdete k prostému, žlutému klášteru
kapucínů. Před vámi se tyčí ohromující Černínský palác, největší
palác v Praze. Naproti je zdobná Loreta proslavená svou zvonkohrou.
Zde naše vycházka končí. Můžete však pokračovat Loretánskou ulicí
a pak zahnout vpravo na Pohořelec nebo Pražský hrad. Zdejší atmosféra je jiná, ulice jsou rušnější. Pokud budete chtít uniknout davu
a hluku, vydejte se do Nového Světa.

The Dvorak Hall at the Rudolfinum has exceptional acoustics and hosts many concerts of the Prague Autumn Festival
“There is always something new
to discover in the work of Shostakovich,”
says conductor Vassily Sinaisky
Concert Hall. As well as conducting orchestras from his native
country (Moscow Philharmonic
Orchestra and the Russian State
Orchestra among others), Sinaisky,
who comes from St Petersburg, has
worked with many world orchestras and opera houses. In August
we caught up with him in Amsterdam.
°
One of the most eagerly
awaited guests of the 16th Prague
Autumn International Music festival will be the renowned Russian
conductor Vassily Sinaisky. He will
conduct the Czech Philharmonic
Orchestra in works by Robert and
Clara Schuman, Alexander Skriabin and Dimitri Shostakovich, on
14 September at the Rudolfinum
Guest @
Are you in Amsterdam by coincidence or because of work?
I have been living here for several
years and at the same time I have
been working with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, which is
based here. Just last week I was in
London, where I conducted a performance by the BBC Philharmonic
Orchestra at the BBC Proms.
Which orchestras are you working
with on a permanent basis at the
moment?
I am the Principal Guest Conductor with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in Britain, and the Principal Conductor in Malmö, Sweden.
I am also a guest with many other
orchestras, so I travel a lot.
What about Russia? You have not
forgotten your native country?
I teach at the conservatory, when
I can, in my native St Petersburg,
i.e. where I also studied, so I am in
constant contact with my home.
Who were your teachers and the
personalities that you like to remember?
Professor Ilya Musin at the Conservatory in St Petersburg. My
fellow students Temirkanov and
Gergiev studied under him and
today they are famous conductors! After I was awarded the gold
medal at the Karajan Competition
in Berlin I worked as assistant to
Kiril Kondrashin at the Moscow
Philharmonic Orchestra. I also studied under him a lot, so until 1996
I could conduct this orchestra.
You have been in Prague several
times. With which orchestras?
I have worked mainly with the
Czech Philharmonic Orchestra,
which I directed three times. But
I also had concerts with the Prague
Symphony Orchestra and the Prague
Radio Symphony Orchestra, in your
city. I know Prague well and during
my visits I have fallen in love with
the city. I always love to come back.
It is the same with Czech music
– I often conduct works by Smetana,
Dvořák and Martinů.
How satisfied have you been with
Prague hotels? Have you any
special accommodation requirements?
I do not have any special demands.
I want only to have peace so I can
relax before and after rehearsals.
1 6
Who will be the soloists at your
Prague concert and how did you
choose the programme?
The programme is a result of our
mutual discussions with the organisers of the festival, whom
I know well. Indeed I conducted in
it back in 1999 – then I conducted
the Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra; the soloist was violinist Ernst
Kovacic. Now, in the piano concerto by Clara Schumann, which
is played seldom, the solo part is
being played by Czech pianist Jan
Simon, and in Shostakovich’s Orchestration of Schumann’s Cello
concerto the soloist is the gifted
young Russian cellist Nina Kotova.
The other two orchestral works are
also seldom played – Skriabin‘s
”Prometheus” is about man’s relationship to the universe and is
imbued with a philosophy that
was not welcome during the last
régime; Shostakovich’s ballet suite
”Screw” was also neglected, even
though it is wonderful music!
How would you describe your relationship to the works of Dmitri
Shostakovich, whose work this
year ’s Prague Autumn Festival
commemorates?
I often feature his works and record them on disc for the Chandos record company, which issues
all my recordings. It is not only
his symphonic works - I also enjoyed recording his less known
film music. About three out of
the 20 CDs I have recorded with
Chandos feature this music, and
they were quite successful. There
is always something new to discover in the work of Shostakovich,
and his film music and the ballet
I mentioned are only part of an
extensive body of works. We must
not forget about his opera works.
I have conducted “Lady Macbeth
of Mtsensk” (Editor’s Note: can be
translated as “Katerina Ismailova“), the last time at the Komische
Oper in Berlin. I often also conduct
it at English National Opera.
Do you have any time for hobbies?
I am a keen on historical literature, so I take a book with me
when I am travelling and read
when I have a spare moment.
I like walking round historic cities,
and Prague is a city where history
leaves an impression on you at
every step.

Pozvánka na festival
Pražský podzim
Jedním z nejočekávanějších hostů 16. ročníku hudebního festivalu Pražský podzim bude význačný ruský dirigent Vasilij Sinajskij,
který bude 14. září řídit v Rudolfinu koncert České filharmonie
se skladbami Roberta Schumana, jeho manželky Clary, Alexandra
Skrjabina a Dmitrije Šostakoviče. Z interview vybíráme:
Kdo budou sólisté vašeho pražského koncertu a jak jste vybíral
program?
V klavírním koncertu Clary Schumannové, který se málo hraje,
zahraje sólo český pianista Jan Simon a v Šostakovičově zpracování Schumannova violoncellového koncertu nadaná mladá
ruská cellistka Nina Kotova. Obě zbývající orchestrální skladby
se také příliš často nehrají - Skrjabinův Prometeus je o vztahu
člověka a vesmíru a svou filozofickou náplní nebyl za minulého
režimu moc vítán, Šostakovičova suita z baletu Šroub byla dříve
také neprávem opomíjena, přitom je to nádherná hudba!

PRAGUE INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL
As the nights get longer what better way to spend the time than with
smooth jazz melodies and a cosy jazz club. Prague has a long jazz
connection, and the International Jazz Festival, traditionally held at the
end of October, is a key fixture in the musical calendar.
The leading performer this year will be the famous jazz organist Rhoda
Scott, who successfully blends various traditions in her music. Some of
the many other musicians performing this year include Vera Lowe and
Trio from the USA and Djabe from Hungary. Most of the performances will
take place at the Reduta Jazz Club, where two former presidents – Bill
Clinton of the USA and Václav Havel - enjoyed a jam session together
in 1994.

PRAGUE AUTUMN
INTERNATIONAL MUSIC FESTIVAL
Prague is one of the great cities of classical music, and is renowned for its
prestigious music festivals. Although a relative newcomer on the scene, the
Prague Autumn Music Festival is building up a prestigious reputation. The
programme includes a varied range of works by Grieg, Sibelius and Haydn to
name a few, and there is also a strong Russian flavour to this year’s festival.
The Prague Autumn Festival will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth
of Dmitri Shostakovich by performing his famous symphonies, film music
and several less well-known pieces. Special projects include film projections,
with live performance of music from the Charlie Chaplin film “City Lights”.
Well-known Russian folk songs will be performed on 16 September at “The
World of the Balalaika” concert, featuring a 65-piece balalaika orchestra.
Works by Russian composer Shostakovich will be conducted by Russian
conductor Vassily Sinaisky. From a musical perspective this year is very
special for Prague, as it marks the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth,
and the programme also includes work by the great composer. Performers
include Sally Matthews, Kateřina Englichová and Hakan Hardenberger.
The festival will take place at various venues. www.prazskypodzim.cz

ALEXANDR ONISHENKO GALLERY EXHIBITION
One of the most successful artists in the Czech Republic came to this
country with few possessions and began selling his work alongside
other artists on the Charles Bridge. But the quality of his work
shone through and Alexandr Onishenko quickly went on to open
his own gallery where one can explore his landscapes, see corners
of his forests, fly with his birds, gallop with horses, explore Gothic
courtyards or soar with him over the rooftops of Prague. Come and
see Alexandr Onishenko’s remarkable paintings at Galerie Jakubská
in Old Town, Jakubská 4, Prague 1. (Mo-Sat 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.)

EUR pro děti z Dětského domova

glazury a jiné materiály potřebné
pro keramické dílny, které si tamní
děti velmi oblíbily. Zaměstnanci

vyráběli keramické předměty.
