Plum Dumplings will release their new album Jiný místo

The Brno band Plum Dumplings is preparing to release their new album Jiný místo [Another place] in the Kabinet Múz. As a guest, Kittchen will appear.

The rock-alternative group Plum Dumplings recorded the album Jiný místo  in cooperation with producer Tomáš Neuwerth at the end of the year 2019. As opposed to the band's previous production, the newly recorded songs are sung in the Czech language (the last album L'épitaphe des papillons was in French). “The transition to the Czech language is in a way liberating, but at the same time baring. A lot could be hidden behind the French, and more important was rather the melody of singing and lyrics, while with the Czech I feel a much greater closeness to the listener, who can thus better identify himself or herself with the story or the feeling that the lyrics can express. At the same time, the Czech language offers me different melodic possibilities,” says the author of the lyrics and vocalist Adéla Polka for the Full Moon magazine. The album is being released on a vinyl record and also in electronic form. Its distribution is provided by the publishing house Indies Scope.

The release of the album will be carried out on 22 January 2020 from 20:00 p.m. in the Kabinet Múz.

With Thursday's concert entitled Bruckneriana, the Brno Philharmonic under the direction of Principal Conductor Dennis Russell Davies launched the subscription series Philharmonia in the Theatre I. The orchestra performed works by Anton Bruckner and Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, a Polish-American conductor and composer who devoted his life's work to Bruckner. Performers wearing crimson sashes with the inscription "Playing forte!” appeared in front of the audience, joining the "Let's not let culture die” initiative, which draws attention to the underfunding of culture and opposes the government's plan to invest just 0.64% of the state budget into culture next year, moving further and further away from its promise to spend at least 1%.  more

The Brno Philharmonic Orchestra has been running the Orchestral Academy of the Brno Philharmonic (OAFB) project for nine seasons, enabling young talented musicians to gain orchestral experience in a professional ensemble. In this manner, the orchestra educates the next generation of musicians, both permanent and external. However, working here also gives young people the opportunity to show their skills in chamber music and in a concert series called Young Blood aka Music Up Close. The first seasonal concert took place on Wednesday 15 November at Besední dom.  more

Baladas da Luta, Fighting Ballads, is the title of the sixth album by Brazilian singer Mariana Da Cruz and her Swiss-Brazilian band Da Cruz. It is a combination of modern music that combines Latin American tradition and contemporary electronic elements with strong lyrics. In them, the author fights for women’s rights, stands up against dictatorships and specifically criticizes the atmosphere that has evolved in Brazil under the now former authoritarian President Bolsonaro. Da Cruz performed at Brasil Fest Brno in August 2023. We revisit this festival with an interview conducted following their concert at Zelný trh. Singer Mariana Da Cruz and keyboard player and producer Ane Hebeisn, performing as Ane H, responded to our questions.  more
