Canadian trio We Are The City appears in Brno with the group Lesní zvěř

Kabinet Múz plays host this week to a joint concert by Canadian and Czech groups. The prog-rock trio from Vancouver We Are The City is now bringing out a new album with the title RIP, which they will be presenting in Brno. The local accompaniment is being taken care of by the group Lesní zvěř.

The trio from Vancouver in Canada have a more than decade-long career behind them. Currently they are bringing out their fifth album with the title RIP. The group recently recorded the soundtrack to the Norwegian-Canadian film ViolentWe Are The City play prog-rock. In preparing for the album RIP the group took more than two years. The album could be characterised as an emotive prog-pop opus dealing with our relationship to death. The resulting sound of the recording was handled by Matt Green (Frank Ocean, Paul McCartney,...).

The Canadian guests will be accompanied by the local group Lesní zvěř, which in genre is a balance between drum'n'bass, nu-jazz and psychedelic. The result is energetic and at the same time playful music full of loud passages, looping live instruments and aggressive dance motifs. This is a line-up of musicians in the manner of groups such as Tata Bojs, Chorchestr, Umakart, Swordfishtrombones, Voodooyoudo,...

Double concert to take place on 17 January 2019 from 8 p.m. in Kabinet Múz.

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.
