Dáša Ubrová releases a new album entitled Eleven Wishes Fulfilled

Brno singer-songwriter Dáša Ubrova is releasing her second album. Eleven Wishes Fulfilled contains compositions in a modern jazz-blues-soul vein. Ubrová created the songs together with composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Vojtěch Svatos.

The album was musically supported by Jiří Stivín, Milan Kašuba, Tomáš Liška, Kamil Slezák and Bára Zmeková, among others. The compilation also includes four duets with the voices of Peter Lipa, Jiří Vondrák, Zdeněk Junák and Vojtěch Svatos. According to the author, the album is a musically and generationally connecting and enriching achievement of the Czech music scene and a showcase of creativity and creative energy. The graphic design of the album by artist Jan Hanuš is also unmistakable. "Eleven Wishes Fulfilled is my second album where I am the author of all the lyrics. It's very varied in genre and I think that's an unusual thing," says Dáša Ubrová about her new album, which has been two years in the making. According to her, the whole album reflects many years of cooperation, musical friendship and an atmosphere in which the songs literally blossomed thanks to the personal interpretations of the individual guests. All of the compositions are full of musical experience, they are based on inspirational generational interplay and instrumental skill, but above all they are anchored by Dáša Ubrová’s original lyrics. "They reflect the stories, emotions, depth and joy of everyday existence. They are a matter of the heart for me, also because I financed the whole recording from my own pocket," adds Dáša Ubrová. The album will be launched on 6 September 2023 in the courtyard of the Husa na provázku Theatre in Brno.

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
