The band Poletíme? is preparing a live recording of their greatest hits called “Best of do gramofonu”

The band Poletíme? returns to the Brno club Fléda on the occasion of recording a new album. The album BEST OF DO GRAMOFONU (Best of, for the turntable) will map the greatest hits in the fifteen years of the band’s existence. Fans will get a unique chance to be part of the live recording in two concert days.

The Brno formation Poletíme? led by singer and lyricist Rudolf Brančovský plays, in their own words, “original banjo punk future jazz country in the spirit of Turbochanson”. They boast a wide range of instruments from banjo to saxophone to violin.

After fifteen years, it’s time for a “Best of” album, and fans will have the opportunity to be a part of it. On two nights, 15th and 16th February, their greatest hits will be performed at Fléda, and the recording of the BEST OF DO GRAMOFON album will also take place. The sixth recording is being made four years after the release of the last one and will bring a cross-section of the band’s musical creations. Czech Television will also be present at the second concert to record the entire concert. The concerts are announced for 15 and 16 February 2023 at 8:30 pm in the Fléda Club.

“Recording a concert with Poletíme? was in the plan for years. I’m glad that it’s happening now after fifteen years of existence. The songs have gotten more vigorous arrangements and tempos over the years. The strength of our band is the concerts. I believe that this way we will be able to capture the atmosphere which is exceptional especially at Fléda,” Brančovský concludes.

Rudolf Brančovský met his bandmates in an evangelical congregation, where they formed a four-piece band in 2007. A year later, they released their debut album Jednoduché písničky o složitém životě (Simple Songs about Complex Life – 2008). After the release of Turbošansón (2014), Vít Kraváček (bass) and Josef Zámečník (banjo) joined the band. In 2016, they went on a joint tour with Wohnout and a year later with Divoký Bill. Their latest album “Chce to hit!” was released in 2018 with eight members with whom they still play today.

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
