I forgot to ask about the singing! Solo? Choir?

I sing in a female student choir (thought I'm not a student anymore, but it's just such a nice choir). In the spring of 2009 we went to Prague to perform there twice and also just to look at the city and have a wonderful time!

1. This is a really lovely church. Interestingly enough, the oldest churches in North America, the Spanish missions in South Texas and San Antonio, are baroque, but the style has not been subject to a revival, so Baroque churches in the US are quite rare.

2. I love the Husstites, they're the oldest Protestant denomination in the world. It's cool that this wonderful old church is safe in their care.

1. That's interesting, I didn't know that.

2. It's poignant that the church is opposite the Jan Hus monument.
