Description was written before the event

Concert by Czech composer and multi-instrumentalist Marek Orko Vácha at the Evangelical Church of Christ in Ostrava.

About the venue: Evangelical Church of Christ

The Evangelical Church of Christ in Ostrava, also known as the Red Church, was built in 1905–1907 to designs by Viennese architects Karel Troll and Ludvík Faigl. The single-nave brick building with a 60 m asymmetric tower is a listed cultural monument. Its interior features a marble altar, an oak pulpit, and a wooden coffered ceiling that gives the church excellent acoustics, making it a venue for concerts as well. Since 2009 the church has been jointly owned by the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren and the Silesian Evangelical Church A. C.
