They play for dancing and listening Brno Philharmonic conducted by Dennis Russell Davies, Salon Orchestra Brno, Jazz Archive and Cymbal Classic. The ball is organized by the Union of Orchestral Musicians in cooperation with the management of the Brno Philharmonic.

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.

In classical programs, he often conducts chamber orchestras from solo cello. He premiered a number of new works that were written for him (John Tavener's The Protecting Veil, Thomas Adès's Lieux retrouvés or Wolfgang Rihm's One Movement Concerto), and he is also interested in the learned interpretation of early music.
