PRAGUE
June 16-20, 2015
The City of a Thousand Spires has seen it all. Centuries
of Bohemian kings, classical composers, invading Nazis,
Soviet tanks and Velvet Revolutionaries have passed
over Prague’s cobblestones, and the spires survived it
all, creating one of Europe’s most romantic and beautiful
skylines. Stroll the Charles Bridge at dusk or row a boat
down the Vltava River to discover what makes this
Baroque jewel so alluring.
Baroque churches, a royal palace, flagstone courtyards
and bejeweled reliquaries comprise Prague Castle, a
complex of buildings perched regally on a hilltop above
Prague. Get lost in a labyrinth of picturesque, medieval,
cobbled streets in the Old City, or peruse the memorable
storefronts full of glittering pieces surrounding the
Old Town Square.
Whether you are a seasoned music aficionado or a casual
listener, you are certain to find a music event or ten to
suit your tastes. Hearing a work of music in Prague, be it
a favorite opera in the same theatre where it premiered,
an experimental jazz piece at one of Prague’s new jazz
clubs, or a band of street musicians on the Charles
Bridge, the music is as much a part of the experience as
the city itself.

BERLIN
June 20-24, 2015
Ask Berliners what they love about the German capital
and some will talk about the joys of post-Communist
freedom, others about Kreuzberg’s throbbing nightlife,
others about Friedrichshain’s exciting young designers.
Berlin can fill you with wonder, contemplating the future
in the crystalline Reichstag and high-rise Potsdamer
Platz, and with emotion, revisiting the past at the Jewish
Museum and remnants of the Berlin Wall. The nostalgic,
the party lover, the trendsetter, today’s Berlin is one
city, many characters - different every time you look but
never looked at indifferently.
Eight times the size of Paris, Berlin does not lack for
things to do. This reunited city’s treasures include
Norman Foster’s panoramic glass-domed Reichstag
(German Parliament), the historic Brandenburg Gate and
UNESCO-listed Museum Island’s galleries, where Egypt’s
Queen Nefertiti hides. Trace Berlin’s turbulent past at
the Libeskind-designed Jewish Museum and walk the
artiest stretch of Wall at the East Side Gallery.
The fall of the Wall was the party of the 20th century,
and even today Berlin still hasn’t run out of steam.
Glitzy 1920s cabaret lives on along Friedrichstrasse,
while classical music rings out of Mitte’s lavish concert
halls like the neoclassical Staatsoper. Canal-side bars
draw revelers to Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. Summer
evenings are best spent chatting and sipping foamy
wheat beer under chestnut trees in Prenzlauer Berg’s
Prater Garten beer garden.
