Ghost of You Christen Their New Album Black Yoga

The Brno psych-pop group Ghost of You has brought out their new album Black Yoga, which they are christening in the Fléda club. Part of the concert will also be a light projection. The Serbian rock band Repetitor will be special guests.

The Brno group Ghost of You has already given a series of concerts in London and appeared at the festivals Eurosonic, Sziged, Pohoda, Beseda u Bigbítu, Banát, Colours of Ostrava and Metronom. Their first EP Ocean K was recorded by the four in the line-up Tom Novohradský, Michal Janík, Štěpán Pařízek and Jiří Habarta in 2013. This was followed by the album Glacier and the City (2015), which met with great success. The current Black Yoga is their third album. “This album is in many ways different, but the energy remains the same. We used different instruments and experimented more. Now we have completed a new concert set, placing alongside each other the new album and part of the first album. We discovered that they work well together,” explained the group’s drummer Michal Janík.

Black Yoga (2018) was set up under the supervision of the producer Ondřej Ježek. At that time in place of finished songs the group brought to the studio individual motifs and ideas. So aside from two pieces the disc was only created in the studio. The resulting colourful sound is a distinctive interweaving of psychedelic pop, art-rock, electronic sounds, in places almost epileptic percussion and the expressive vocals of Tomáš Novohradský.

The christening of the album by the group Ghost of You is to take place 15 March 2018 from p.m. in the Fléda club. Ghost of You will have as their guests the Serbian group Repetitor.

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
