Icelandic electronic legend GusGus is heading to Brno

This Icelandic formation, headed by its founding members Daníel Ágúst and Biggi Veira, will bring its tenth album Lies Are More Flexible to Brno in autumn, released after a four-year studio pause in 2018.

GusGus come from Reykjavik. Their musical history has been written for twenty-three years already. In their work, they honour the Kompakt and 4AD labels, under which formations such as The National, Future Islands and Pixies are also published. GusGus are  currently headed by two of its founding members, frontman Daníel Ágúst and Biggi Veira. At the beginning, however, the band had twelve members, which over the years included singer Emilíana Torrini, author of the song from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The opening single of the album Lies Are More Flexible, which will be presented in Brno, is the song Featherlight, a sound-epic song that, for example, has become the most downloaded song on iTunes in Sweden.

GusGus will perform on 18 September 2019 at 20:00 in Fléda club. The concert is promoted by Colours Selection and Fléda.

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
