The ensemble Komorní dechová harmonie Brno was formed 27 years ago from among the players of the brass section of the Railway Symphony Orchestra. The core of the ensemble is a wind deceto consisting of a pair of flutes, oboes, clarinets, French horns and bassoons. Thanks to the hard work, discipline, technical ability and natural musicality of all members of the Brno Chamber Wind Orchestra, the ensemble's repertoire is happily growing, as is the level of its interpretation. However, the ensemble's most valuable currency still remains the unconcealed joy of making music, which is also transmitted to the listeners.

The Brno Chamber Wind Orchestra was conducted by prominent conductors such as Jakub Hrůša and David Mareček. The ensemble collaborates programmatically with young conductors, which is also the case with the gifted Filip Urban, current chief conductor of the KDHB, Joel Hána, or Robert Kružík, chief conductor of the Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic, Zlín.

Rosamunda, Princess of Cyprus, was the title of the singing play premiered in 1823, but the Viennese audience did not like it at all. She got only two performances and then not even a dog barked at her. The connection between the individual parts of the theatrical flop was ensured by the wonderful music of Franz Schubert, which has not left the concert stages. As a sample of it, we present the ballet music, which shows the composer from his best side.

Julius Fučík is the king not only of marches, but also of waltzes. We hope that the premiere of the transcription of the unjustly neglected numerical waltz Land of Dreams will convince you of this, which will take us into the ghostly world of fairy tales and fables.
