New season at Fléda music club is accompanied by names such as GusGus, Hooverphonic, Kadebostany or De Staat

The autumn program of the Fléda music club in Brno contains big names of the music world. The August visit of Jon Hopkins', who will appear at the Brno Marathon of Music festival is already at its imaginary beginning. The autumn season officially opens with a September dance party featuring GusGus from Iceland. This will be followed by concerts of Hooverphonic with a new singer, Jan Blomqvist & Band with their complete Disconnected project or the Berlin legend DJ Hell with his Zukunftmusic composition. Rockers De Staat will bring their novelty titled The Bubble Gum, Movits! their most hip-hop record so far – the double album V, Kadebostany in turn will bring their album Monumental. Last but not least, Vitalic with Rebeka Warrior will also be featured presenting their KCompromat project.

The August event, as part of the Brno Marathon of Music will be launched by a major global IDM representative, recognized producer and long-time collaborator of Brian Eno Jon Hopkins. It will be followed by a concert of GusGus from Iceland. For their current concert tour, they made the material from their new album into an audiovisual show full of techno and pop euphoria explosions. Belgian Hooverphonic will delight fans of trip hop and melodic electronics. Besides the songs from the recently released album Looking For Stars, they will play their well-known hits.

Jan Blomqvist & Band, a charismatic Berliner, will complement the October program with the award-winning Disconnected project, which he has already partially presented to Brno last year at Špilberk courtyard. The diversity of the Berlin sound is reaffirmed by DJ Hell with his Zukunftsmusic composition and a multi-genre set. The Dutch rockers De Staat will crown the October wild ride. They will bring a new show to their current album The Bubble Gum, where they comment on the world of social bubbles, social codes and Trump rhetoric.

November will bring two great culminations  of the season. The first will be directed by the indie-pop duo Kadebostany. The live performance for the new album Monumental will bring a unique visual identity and first-league fusion of pop, edm and world music. The second is a dream come true of French Vitalica and fans of Kraftwerk or Einstürzende Neubauten. The European dance music icon, renowned producer and multi-instrumentalist threw away all inhibitions this time and created a raw dance album named Traum und Existenz, in which his dramatic handwriting blends perfectly with Rebeka Warrior's unquieting vocals.

Hard music lovers will appreciate Belgian Amenra, in the company of the Swiss hypnotic duo E-L-R and the Australian sludge quartet YLVA. The band Myslovitz is coming from neighbouring Poland, which is gradually evolving from mass pop to more experimental musical position after the conquest of Czech radio stations and MTV. Movits! will arrive from Sweden with their jazz rap show to the current double album.

A part of the club season are also annual concerts of J.A.R., Monkey Business, Mig 21, Skyline, Visací zámek and the Brno band Poletíme?. The series of autumn concerts will be launched by Insania with its 888th show, with a number of guests supporting the legend of the Czech crossover. The band Jelen & Míša Tučná will present their album Spím v obilí [Sleeping in a Crop Field], a tribute to Michal Tučný, a Nestor of Czech folk and country. One of the most interesting domestic singers, Lenny, came out of the folk environment as well, launching her second album, which in her own words is bolder and more cheerful. One of the most expected autumn concerts will be the launch of the album Les [Forest] of the band -123min.

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
