Could you suggest where to go in Prague, to listen to an organ concert in the of May. Preferably in a old church(atmosphere matters as much as the music itself=)).Thanks

When in May? Each day there are tens of concerts in almost every church in central Prague, you will find leaflets everywhere - on the church doors, on posters, handed out in streets.
Some are here www.pis.cz
But most of those tourist concerts are not advertised at the official websites.
The best organ in Prague has St. Jacob (sv. Jakub) close to Old town square - its spectacular ornate baroque church. St. Nicholas in Mala Strana is an amazing space, but I was somehow disappointed in the sound quality of the actual organ. Very impressive is Tyn (the church right on the Old Town Square) and Panna Marie Snezna (Our lady of the Snow) just off Wenceslass square - beautiful towering uplifting gothic.

St. Nicholas church is one of the most amazing churches to look at. As far as organ concerts go, I went to the one at the foot of the bridge in Stare Mesto. It wasn%26#39;t that great. If I did it again, I think I would look into St. Vitus. You won%26#39;t have a problem finding one. As the post stated above, they are EVERYWHERE.
If you are trying to pick the church based on looks...St. Nicholas would be my pick. If you go there...walk up all of the stairs and see an amazing view of Prague.
