Insania christens their new album in Brno

In May the metal group Insania brought out their album Na počátku byl spam In the Beginning was Spam). Their autumn tour for the new disc culminates in a concert at Brno’s Fléda club. There the group will christen their new album and will celebrate thirty years on the musical scene. Among the evening’s guests will be Jan Vozáry, Jan P. Muchow, Vladivojna La Chia and Tubabu.

This metal group has been playing together already for thirty years, and in the last few years has moved significantly into the electronic area. “We like to put an emphasis on communication, to support the vocalist, his expression, so he does not have fight for his place against dominant guitars. We like poisonous synthetic sounds. So the guitars do not thunder out through the whole song but only at the culmination,” explains Poly, frontman of the group Insania in an interview for the hard rock portal Crazy Diamond.

The guests at the concert also took part in the creation of the album. Jan Vozáry arranged the song Bohové jdou k lidem, Bodiya was responsible for the electro-jazz version of Celestýna. Vladivojna La Chia took part in the remix of the single Nebe a Nietzsche, Jan P. Muchow reworked the song Mezi náma přeskočila jiskra and Midi Lidi gave a new sound to the older song Ať shoří v pekle všechny kapely světa. The concert will also include a video-projection by Fra Zae.

The concert will take place on 11 November from 7 p.m. in Brno’s Fléda club.

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.
