Balladine begins the semester at a new address

The Balladine Dance School has a new base. It is opening the winter semester in the building on the corner of the streets Hilleho and tř. Kpt. Jaroše. This year’s timetable includes classical ballet for children and adults. Something new is the course Variations, led by Vendula Vlasáková. The offer of contemporary dance has been expanded to include a course for children.

The Balladine Dance School’s new timetable includes classical ballet for children and adults at all levels, pointe shoe course, ballet barre fitness and a stretching course. New this year is the course Variations, which covers classical modern and original choreography led by Vendula Vlasáková. Contemporary dance has been expanded to include a course for children aged 7 – 15. Contemporary dance includes many approaches and techniques, makes use of elements of other dance styles and respects the personal dance expression of each child, supporting creativity and a deeper awareness of their own bodies. Teachers at Balladine can also speak English, offering some of their courses in bilingual form, and others only in English. “We are expanding teaching in English to give an opportunity to foreign students and foreigners to get involved in cultural and social life in Brno and at the same time to enrich our dance community,” stated the director of Balladine.

Another new course is the Movement Course for Parents with Children. The course is made up of brief warm-ups with various types of exercise and dance. Children can try the basics of yoga, aerobics and ballet.

Current information can be found on the website of the studio.

Balladine begins the winter semester on 17 September 2018.

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
