International Organ Festival

The dramaturgy of the 30th International Organ Festival is formed by many rare works by world and Czech composers and improvisational art, too. Each festival concert is also in memory of individual artists who have performed in the Basilica in the past thirty years but are no longer alive. The largest organ in the Czech Republic will sound under the hands and feet of exceptional interpreters from France, the USA, Italy, Spain, Hungary and of course of Czech organists, too.

Organ concerts inSt. James Basilica in Prague are famous for their long tradition and the absolutely unique sound of the largest Prague organ. The two-manual organ with a pedal keyboard and 26 stops was completed in 1705 by Abraham Stark of Loket. The organ’s case, which is still admired today, was quite unique in its time. At present the organ has four manuals, 91 speaking stops and 8,277 pipes.
