This year the Mendel Festival enters its 8th year. As every year, it is held to celebrate the legacy of the founder of genetics, Gregor Johann Mendel, and once again, in addition to the professional programme and the programme for children, it will also offer a musical programme, headlined by a concert of the French band the Gipsy Kings.
The musical part of the festival programme is divided into two days. On Friday, July 21, bands like The People, MNMK, Pam Rabbit and Bert and Friends will take the stage. On Saturday, July 22, the entire program is designed as a tribute to a legend for a legend. The Brno band Poletíme? will play. Then the Balkan turbo-dance band from Romania , Fanfare Ciocarlia, will perform, followed by the main star of this year's Mendel Festival - the French band the Gipsy Kings, who have sold over 20 million records, made two films and won a Grammy Award in their 30-year career. The festival will run from 16 to 23 July 2023. Admission to the festival is free again this year.
The accompanying festival programme traditionally includes guided tours of the Mendel Museum and free admission to the Museum of Old Brno Abbey, where a rare original of Rubens' painting of St. Augustine is displayed. The accompanying programme of the Mendel Festival also includes important partners from universities as well as contributory and non-profit organisations. A new programme for children has been prepared by RECETOX, a research institute of the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University, which complements the project's stalwarts - the Bioskop scientific teaching centre and the CEITEC research centre. The programme also includes an exhibition tracking the health of Brno citizens from the CELSPAC study and lovers of technical gadgets will be delighted by a special workshop of the Brno JIC in the form of a FabLab truck. Throughout the week, a number of other activities will be held in Brno to highlight the life and work of Gregor Johann Mendel.
