"Peter and Paul in European Music of Four Centuries" is an original musical project focused on the interpretation of Baroque and other works by composers of the same first names, performed in churches throughout the Czech Republic. The programme connects sacred spaces with works by composers such as Buxtehude, Purcell, Handel and Bach.

About the venue: Kaple Zjevení Páně

A baroque castle chapel in Smiřice, built between 1699 and 1711 for Count Jan Josef of Sternberg. The design is attributed to Kryštof Dientzenhofer or Jan Blažej Santini - no building plans have survived. The floor plan is a slightly elongated octagon with concave-convex curved walls, and the interior has remained largely unchanged since completion. The main altarpiece, Petr Brandl's "Adoration of the Magi" (1727), is a national cultural monument in its own right; the chapel has held that status since 1995. Visits are by prior arrangement or as part of guided tours.
