The Young Gods will bring their new album to Brno

The Young Gods, representatives of industrial rock, will visit the Czech Republic once again and come to Brno. This Swiss trio will bring their album Data Mirage Tangram. This record, full of audio experiments, is now being released after a nine-year break. The band's founding member, programmer Cesare Pizzi, who has now returned to the band, also contributed to the recording of the album.

The history of The Young Gods started to be written in Geneva in 1985. It was there that the newly formed band, whose name was inspired by the early EP of related guitar stars Swans, held its first concerts. Now The Young Gods is back on stage in grand style. The original member, electronic programmer Cesare Pizzi, returned to the line-up. The new album, Data Mirage Tangram, is now being released after almost a decade also with his contribution. "It was a long break, because in 2011 two members decided to go their own way. It took us some time to decide how to move on. And then Cesare Pizzi returned,” explains singer Franz Treichler for Academy Music Group.

This Swiss trio is one of the most influential bands of the industrial scene of the last decades. Hard guitar genre icons such as Nine Inch Nails and Faith No More stem from their music. However, The Young Gods' musical work has a much greater overlap when they were mentioned by stars of the pop  scene such as U2 or David Bowie, one of the most important musical personalities ever. The music of The Young Gods themselves was, according to Treichler, influenced mainly by Einstürzende Neubauten.

The Young Gods will present their new album to Brno on 7 June 2019 from 19:00 in the Fléda Music Club.

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
