Imperial Noon

Revived tradition from the times of Peter the Great and accessible concerts for everyone Every Sunday, right after the cannon shot, musicians from the State Academic Capella, dressed in 19th-century costumes, will give a concert for everyone from the window facing Palace Square. The tradition dates back to the time of Emperor Peter the Great, the founder of the city on the Neva. It was decided that music should be enjoyed not only by the court and aristocrats but also by common people. The tradition was revived in 2022. The repertoire changes every week.
