Musica Florea presents an Advent concert of Baroque Czech music, centered on historic organs tuned in unequal temperament — a tuning system corresponding to Baroque string and brass instruments.

The programme features lesser-known compositions from the second half of the 17th century from the Kroměříž castle archive, as well as late Baroque music by Czech composers:

- Pavel Josef Vejvanovský
- Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber
- František Xaver Brixi

About the venue: Kostel Obětování Panny Marie

The monastery church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary on Piaristické náměstí is one of the oldest buildings in České Budějovice, founded alongside the city in 1265 at the initiative of King Přemysl Otakar II. Despite repeated fires and alterations in the 14th, 17th and 19th centuries, the three-nave Gothic structure has kept its early Gothic character. The interior is notable for 14th- and 15th-century frescoes - including a nearly ten-metre figure of St. Christopher - and a Baroque organ from the 17th century. The church passed through the hands of the Dominicans, Piarists and Redemptorists.
