The fifth year of the SMArt gospel project will include a concert of the mixed Brno Gospel Choir under the direction of conductor Zuzana Petlanová. The charity event will benefit the treatment of children with a rare hereditary disease.
The Brno Gospel Choir has been operating for 14 years, and its repertoire includes black original songs, as well as contemporary European gospel music with funk and rap elements. Proceeds from the concert, which will take place on the same day in Prague, Plzeň and Ostrava, will benefit children with a rare hereditary disease – spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The charity concert will be held on 26 November in the Brno Semilasso Auditorium.
The conductor of the Brno choir Zuzana Petlanová says: "Charity concerts are my favourite. What I like about them is that we can help someone in particular with our singing. Five years ago, I myself did not know what spinal muscular atrophy was, now the stories of families with children with these diseases are highly touching to me and I am grateful that we can make them at least a little bit happy."
