B-Side Band from Brno launches new single with music video

In the new single Magnum, the big band B-Side Band tackles the hectic pace of everyday life. The clip also features actors Michal Isteník and Jakub Uličník alongside the musicians. The as yet untitled album will be released in autumn this year. The band will start touring in early 2024.

Singer Petr Rybíz Toman opens the new song with the (Czech) lyrics “I can't keep up, I have too much to do and I’m all alone, maybe it’s allowed, so I’d rather write than call you,” as well as the theme of the time load of today’s man. Despite all the lack of free time, however, the B-Side Band bandmates meet in the sauna, for a beer, or to roast a few sausages. And not only in the clip, but also in reality.

“The text is, with great exaggeration, the story of us men, fathers and husbands, who naturally tend to hide somewhere and then mask our absence at home with our workload and so on. In a way, the song is also a thank you to our tolerant women for playing these transparent games with us all the time,” explains the author of the music and lyrics, B-Side Band bassist Tomáš Vunderle Koudelka. The composition was created in the Reset Studio and Recording Studio of the Divadlo na Orlí Theatre in Brno under the musical direction of Roman Kašník, Jaroslav Zouhar and musical supervision of producer and bandleader Josef Buchta. With the first single called Snow (Sníh), which was vocally taken over by guitarist Jiří Kalousek, the B-Side Band started its new era. Gradually, the upcoming original songs will feature some of the eighteen-member big band as lyricists or lead singers. The new album will be released this autumn. In early 2024, the big band will start its tour.

Connection, unity, contemplation - these words can be used to describe the musical evening of Schola Gregoriana Pragensis under the direction of David Eben and organist Tomáš Thon, which took place yesterday as part of the Easter Festival of Sacred Music at the church of St. Thomas. Not only the singing of a Gregorian chant, but also the works of composer Petr Eben (1929-2007) enlivened the church space with sound and colour for an hour.  more

With a concert called Ensemble Inégal: Yesterday at the church of St. John, Zelenka opened the 31st edition of the Easter Festival of Sacred Music, this time with the suffix Terroir. This slightly mysterious word, which is popularly used in connection with wine, comes from the Latin word for land or soil, and carries the sum of all the influences, especially the natural conditions of a particular location and on the plants grown there. This term is thus metonymically transferred to the programme of this year's VFDH, as it consists exclusively of works by Czech authors, thus complementing the ongoing Year of Czech Musicmore

For the fourth subscription concert of the Philharmonic at Home serieswhich took place on 14 March at the Besední dům and was entitled Mozartiana, the Brno Philharmonic, this time under the direction of Czech-Japanese conductor Chuhei Iwasaki, chose four works from the 18th to 20th centuries. These works are dramaturgically linked either directly through their creation in the Classical period or by inspiration from musical practices typical of that period. The first half of the concert featured Martina Venc Matušínská with a solo flute.  more

The second stop on the short Neues Klavier Trio Dresden's Czech-German tour was at the concert hall of the Janáček Academy of Music on 6 March at 16:00. A programme consisting of world premières by two Czech and two German composers was performed in four cities (Prague, Brno, Leipzig and Dresden).  more

The last opera première of the National Theatre Brno this year was Hurvínek Sells the Bride, which was co-produced with the Spejbl and Hurvínek Theatre. The première continued the thematic focus associated with the Year of Czech Music and took place on 24 November in the large hall of the Reduta Theatre.  more
