Metro Open Air Stage: Circus Brothers, Katarzia and Tomáš Klus

Metro Music Bar will open its Metro Open Air stage in the middle of August. Hence, in response to government regulations, the club concerts will be moved outdoors. The former post office building, which faces the club directly across the street, features a large inner courtyard. This particular venue is where all the concerts will be taking place for two weeks, starting from mid-August. The first two days of the new outdoor programme will be dedicated to the Brno Music Marathon festival.

"We have been playing with the idea of ​​organising a concert in this space for several years now. However, the government regulation was a new driving force for us, " explains Josef Buchta, one of the owners of the Metro Music Bar. "The club in the Alfa mall on Poštovská 6 will continue to function from 10 pm until late night hours. However, we moved the concerts to fresh air in the courtyard of the former post office building across the street, " he adds. The first two days of the new outdoor programme will be dedicated to the Brno Music Marathon festival. A Balkan party, featuring  the Circus Brothers, complemented by the Lovesong Orchestra and Dj Le Petit Nicolas, will be transferred here from the Sono Centre. On the next day, the space will be renamed the Groove Stage and the whole afternoon will be carried  in the mood of the Groove Brno festival. Brno's Funky Chicken and  Jay Delver will play in the afternoon, and Top Dream Company from Prague  and Katarzia  from the Slovakian town of Nitra will conclude the evening. The following days will also bring various genres. Visitors can look forward to Záviš with Mucha, the vocal ensemble Kru Kru Voices  or the big band formation Big20. Mínus123minut and Jaromír 99 with the band will perform with a special secret guest. A great summer party will be launched by Golden Delicious. After that, you will be verbally entertained by a stand-up comedy entitled Na stojáka with Arnošt Frauenberg, Ester Kočičková and Daniel Čech. Tomáš Klus and Jiří Kučerovský will then appear on the last Friday of the holidays. The Metro Open Air stage will be concluded by a double concert of the bands Oceán and Gustavo Rojo. The concert programme is scheduled from 14 to 29 August 2020.

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
