Druž Messe with Pop Messe. Two club concerts before the festival

The organizers of the Pop Messe festival will shorten their fans’ wait for the last weekend in July with the Druž Messe event. It promises a pair of warm-up concerts in Brno and Veselí nad Moravou. The bands B4 and Wczasy from Poland will perform at the Kabinet Múz.

“We were thinking how to make the wait for Pop Messe more interesting for our fans and how to get to know each other better at the same time. So we prepared a pair of warm-up concerts at Druž Messe, where we’ll meet together, enjoy great young bands, and tune in to the festival atmosphere,” says Tomáš Kelar, Pop Messe dramaturg.

The first of Druž Messe’s club warm-up concerts will take place in the Brno club Kabinet Múz. The psychedelic B4, one of the stalwarts of Czech alternative music, will play during the evening. From Poland will come the distinctive group Wczasy, who already performed last year at Pop Messe. The first concert will take place on 9 June 2022 in Kabinet Múz and the second on 10 June 2022 in Kafé v kině in Veselí nad Moravou.

The second event is a concert at the Kafé in the cinema in Veselí nad Moravou. Island Mint, light music for a lazy summer afternoon or for a long car journey somewhere to the sun and sea, will visit Slovácko. There will also be a band named after the most solitary whale in the ocean, broadcasting on a frequency that no one else can hear – emotionally intense post-punk by the Bratislava five-piece 52 Hertz Whale.

A ticket purchased for Druž Messe concerts serves as a discount coupon for two-day Pop Messe admission.

The second edition of the progressive festival Pop Messe will feature nearly sixty artists from abroad and the Czech Republic. Headliners include Skepta, Bicep, Son Lux, Kae Tempest, and Ride. The two-day event will take place from 29 to 30 July in the Za Lužánky football stadium and around the Bobycentrum. In addition to the two-day tickets, limited one-day tickets are now on sale.

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
