Ensemble Opera Diversa: Da Pacem, Domine
With its program, this year's concert by the string quartet Diversa Quartet continues the years-old initiative of the ensemble operation to realize evenings in memory of all the faithful deceased, i.e. with a soul theme. Although delayed in terms, the dramaturgical concept itself is not strictly liturgical, but rather wreathed in the theme of sadness and commemorative dedications, aiming at a conciliatory catharsis. The title of the concert with three Czech premieres is based on the composition of the same name by Arvo Pärt, which will be heard at the very end of the evening.

METAMORPHOSIS
Workshop for the public: How ballet is made
The 120-minute workshop offers children of younger school age (6-11 years) the opportunity to gain insight into the world of ballet art in a playful and experiential way. During the workshop, children will learn something about the history of ballet, important music composers (and not only) ballet music, choreography, costume, scenography and will also have the opportunity to try out the basics of classical dance technique and the connection of various body movements and gestures and expand their movement vocabulary. The workshop also includes a meeting with a dancer from the NdB ballet company, with the aim of introducing children to this artistic profession up close. At the same time, it offers them the opportunity to discuss with an active artist about topics related to ballet art, music and many others that relate to the profession of a dancer.
A ballet of ballets, which at the first viewing causes addiction and interest in the ballet genre. Tchaikovsky's famous music, Petipa/Ivanov's legendary choreography and the story of Princess Odette, enchanted into a swan, are a composition that stirs the hearts of more and more generations of ballet-goers of all ages around the world.

Manon Lescaut
Love knows no bounds, my guilt will be forgotten, but my love will not die...

But everything has its own price and not even love can save everything.
YOUNG BLOOD or MUSIC CLOSE UP II
The Orchestral Academy of the Brno Philharmonic (OAFB) is a project that enables young talented musicians – students or recent graduates of music schools accepted on the basis of a selection process – to gain orchestral practice in a professional ensemble. In this way, the Philharmonic trains new generations of players who may one day join its ranks. The OAFB has been operating for six seasons and its fruits are already evident: some of its graduates are already members of our orchestra, others regularly return to help out. The importance and value of this experience for the artistic growth of young musicians and for the future of the orchestra is thus indisputable. In recent seasons, the Mladá krev cycle has gained a large audience, which appreciates the youthfully captivating performances of the performers, the attractive, diverse repertoire and, last but not least, the captivating atmosphere of these concerts, during which the Besední dom hall is intimately lit, atypically set up and the musicians are almost within reach , as the subtitle of the Close Up Music series suggests. During concerts, the barrier of the stage and the evening gown disappear. However, it has already become a tradition that former OAFB members or other guests also perform at Mladá krve concerts.

Merry Widow
The mission is clear - marry the widow! But so that her millions remain in the principality. There would be plenty of suitors, but Count Danilo, entrusted with the task, already has a love history with the widow Hana Glawari. So the affection is mutual, but the reluctance to admit that the old love has not rusted, either. When you add the other ingredients in the form of a party at the embassy in Paris, dancers from the famous U Maxima cabaret and witty dialogues, you have everything you need for a great operetta.

The concert is intended for parents and their children aged 4-9. Barbara Tolarová violin Věra Drápelová clarinet Linda Cogan piano the concert is performed by Kristýna Drášilová and Magdalena Dostálová
