“We are returning to Fóra Karlín, and I firmly hope that we will not move anywhere else with the Christmas concert in the coming years.

Visitors and fans can look forward to the most popular songs such as Kolej Yesterday, Blues about Swallowed Words or Batva o Charles Bridge, which will be complemented by pieces from the successful album Could it be Heaven. This year, too, the program of the Christmas concert will be enriched by a number of interesting guests. Among them will appear Honza Hrubý with the group Kukulín, inspired by the books of J. R. R. Tolkien, who will also celebrate his 75th birthday at the Christmas concert.
