In a benefit concert in Brno’s Sono Centre young artists are supporting children with oncological conditions. The concert is being organised by the Společně k úsměvu (Smile Together) association, founded by former children’s oncology patients. The association supports families whose children are going through this disease, and also the newly founded outpatient department for the treatment of later effects in Brno.

Appearing in the concert will be the actor and singer Hana Holišová, Radka Coufalová, Tereza Mašková, Robert Jícha, the musical group Šroti and the dance ensemble Magic Free Group. Also performing will be cured patients playing the saxophone and performing oriental dance. The concert will take place on 23 October 2018 in the Sono Centre from 5 p.m.

“The event will support follow-up care for hundreds of people who in childhood had an oncological disease and are still dealing with the results of the treatment,” says Markéta Šejnohová from the Společně k úsměvu association. The concert will take place on 23 October 2018 in the Sono Centre from 5 p.m. Buy buying tickets you will be supporting oncology patients.

Společně k úsměvu is a patients’ organisation made up of cured patients, doctors and other partners. With the aid of workshops and the creation of educational materials they try to play a role in the prevention of later after-effects of treatment, such as for example metabolic syndromes, psychosocial effects or dental problems. For this they make use of a unique linking of the current professions of cured patients such as nutritional specialist, medical technician and psychologist.

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
