On June 3, 1626, the cornerstone of Prague’s Holy House was laid—meaning that this year, Prague’s Loreto Sanctuary celebrates 400 years of existence. On this occasion, we would like to invite you to a musical celebration of this significant anniversary. The MAGNIFICAT concert has been prepared by the Piccolo coro & Piccola orchestra ensemble—a mixed chamber choir and string orchestra that is also celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Let's celebrate with us! Admission is by donation.

Significant anniversaries deserve a fitting celebration, and music is a wonderful way to express our gratitude.
