 The B-SIDE BAND presented its new video

The Brno B-SIDE BAND of bandleader Josef Buchta has a new video for the composition Meeting Point, which is part of the album with the same name.

Meeting Point – important moments and expectations. A place with an atmosphere and pulsing with life. A place that cannot be missed. It recalls the emotions of a thousand tales. The jazz piece Meeting Point by the composer and pianist Jiří Levíček together with another 8 compositions and arrangements by contemporary jazz composers, is on the album with the same name, which shows the Brno big band in a completely different light than that which visitors to their concerts with the singer Vojtěch Dyk are used to. This instrumental jazz album was issued at the end of 2014.

A unique short musical film, shot in the South Moravian metropolis, was created for the project. Its title was taken from that of the composition. The director of this video is Hana Kovaříková, who has long cooperated with the B-SIDE BAND also in fashioning their tours and directing their concerts. The filming and editing is the work of the young and talented film-maker Filip Novák. “It is wonderful that it was possible to film a modern big-band video, with the participation of every individual member of the group and the team. I have to say that the final form of Meeting Point was a great and pleasant surprise. At the same time I cannot disguise my great personal pleasure at fulfilling my dream of riding in a film on my Moto Guzzi.” Adds Josef Buchta, bandleader of the B-SIDE BAND.

The first live performance of the pieces from the album Meeting Point will take place on Tuesday 19 December at 8.30 p.m. in the Metro Music Bar.

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
