Beata Hlavenková and Trio Snů Pianist, composer, singer, arranger and producer, she is one of the most distinctive contemporary musicians with an unmistakable supra-genre authorial style. Her main asset is courage – the courage to experiment, to seek unconventional harmonies and arrangements. Genre freedom, based on a deep awareness of jazz, modern classical music, pop and songwriting, is intertwined in all her projects with a clearly recognizable focused and sensitive interpretation.

On February 13, 2009, one of the most famous musical titles written in the twentieth century premiered at the Music Stage of the Brno City Theatre. The story of the escaped galley slave Jean Valjean, based on Hugo's famous novel of the same name Les Misérables (1862), won the hearts of audiences not only in Brno during more than 130 reruns, and Petr Gazdík won the prestigious Thalia Award for his portrayal of the lead role. The Brno production thus only confirmed the quality of the work, which after its premiere in 1985 in London and two years later on Broadway, literally flew around the world and became one of the longest-running musicals in the West End. It should be added that the world premiere took place in Paris in 1980 and the musical's worldwide success was ensured by the production care of musical magician Cameron Mackintosh.

Flutist Sofia Mavrogenidou and Barbara Maria Willi are linked by a long musical journey and a passion for both ancient and contemporary music; their interplay is rooted in a deep understanding and joy of creating together. For the new project, which will open the 23rd year of the cycle, the artists have invited a pair of talented dancers whose contemporary expressive dance reflects this musical unity in movement and proves that “old music” can be so damn young! Program: SOFIA MAVROGENIDOU, JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH, GEORG FRIEDRICH HÄNDEL

"Is it folk, pop, rock, jazz? I don't know and I don't really care. They are, first and foremost, strong and good songs." Jindřich Göth, music journalist, iDnes.cz "Although the songs emphasize original music, inventive arrangements and technically brilliant singing, the lyrics of a singer-songwriter worthy of that label are not crossword puzzles, but about something important." Tomáš S. Polívka, Magazín Uni.

Aaron Brooks - former lead singer and composer of most of the songs of the acclaimed American psychedelic rock band Simeon Soul Charger - released his debut solo album Homunculus in 2018, a genre-diverse mix of psychedelic rock and folk "American style" connected by orchestral elements. The album's release was followed by a series of European tours in 12 countries. In addition to frequent concerts with the band Simeon Soul Charger, he has visited the Czech Republic several times with his new backing band, as well as on his own with a guitar, and in the last two years in a duo with Pilsen cellist and vocalist Karolína Korecká.

Come to one of the concerts of the first tour – I am me. The show is not only about music. It is about the courage to be yourself, about emotions, about what we feel, but often do not say out loud. An authentic musical show, which is a dream come true for the performer. After all, as Andrea herself says – each of us should fulfill our dreams – and to help her fulfill hers, all you have to do is come to the concert and support her. You may also know the talented and courageous beauty from the popular beauty contest, where she won the title of Czech Miss World 2015, or from the TV competition Your Face Has a Familiar Voice. At the concert you will hear new songs, experience an atmosphere full of energy and you will definitely all enjoy it together!

Frankie & The Deadbeats (translated as losers, losers or lousy people) is a group of men with a dubious reputation, but as a musical group they are aiming high. A few years ago they moved from dirty clubs, where they played punk and rock’n’roll loudly and in the sweat of their faces (e.g. Hanba, Prague Conspiracy, Unholy Preachers, TiNG, Inverta Storca and others), to the music of their childhood, spent around campfires, and decided to win the hearts of Czech and foreign radio listeners and convince them that they like country, even if they never thought so before and that hats, shirts and cognacs are just cool. For Jonáš, music is a way to approach complex things in a straightforward way. Neither in the lyrics nor in the musical accompaniment is complex and they do not claim to be. It smells of the smoke of guitar campfires and the current alternative scene, inspired by 20th-century singer-songwriters led by Jonathan Richman and Vashti Bunyan.

Pepa Nos, real name Josef Nos, is a Czech singer-songwriter, author and yoga teacher. As a singer-songwriter, he performed mainly in small clubs and schools, occasionally at festivals. His songs rarely appear on the radio or television. He is the author of more than 300 songs, in most cases with his own lyrics.

FINAL DOSE (UK) A fierce blend of the cold malevolence of black metal and the unyieldingness of raw punk. Final Dose's origins date back to the release of a demo in 2020, followed by the full-length Void Inside (2023) and two cuts on the 4-way split album Blood Price with Prayer Position (USA), Otras (SK) and Haunting Figure (USA). PRAYER POSITON (USA) Raw blackened punk from Boston, USA. Prayer Position's sound is based on primitive black metal, raw punk and sonic extremes. A cacophony of noise torn from the chain in an atmosphere of menacing chaos.

Music in the main role, that's how Dvořák's opera Jakobín could be summed up, because it is precisely it that can change the fate of all the characters in the opera. At the same time, Dvořák created a charming picture of a Czech town from the Enlightenment era populated by quirky figures of the music-loving teacher Benda, his stubborn daughter Terinka in love with the young teacher Jiřík, or the cocky burgrave Filip. Perhaps it was a fond memory of the circumstances of his own youth that brought so many charming, rich melodies, both playful and melancholic, to Dvořák's music, be it the famous scene of the school cantata, the duet "We wandered abroad" or Juliet's lullaby. What better opera to start the season falling under the Year of Czech Music with than Jakobín, which is Dvořák's tribute to Czech music and the people who love it above all else.

In February 2011, the music world was rocked. Something completely unexpected happened at the Grammy Awards—jazz double bassist, singer, and songwriter Esperanza Spalding won the Best New Artist category, beating out mainstream favorites like Justin Bieber, Drake, Florence & the Machine, and Mumford & Sons. The media spoke of a “shocking surprise” that secured her the status of the first jazz artist ever to win the prestigious award. This moment was not just a personal triumph—it was also the moment that, after many years (and unfortunately for the last time for a long time), put modern jazz in the pop spotlight and forced even the general public to ask the question: “What, Esperanza?”

They are all active musicians, they all move across genres. And yet they are united by one thing – a love of jazz. "We decided to try to return to where we came from, to the jazz club, and play the songs that influenced us the most on our musical journey," says Ondřej Ruml, adding that the repertoire will also include songs that were created in collaboration with Matěj Benko.

Ivo "Spyder" Křižan - an American musician of Czech origin, has played and collaborated with many prominent musicians such as Jeff Beck, Doug Lunn, Henri Bozzie, Mitch Mitchell and others. For many years he played in black club bands, especially in California, which were a great school of rhythm and blues for him. Spyder alternates his musical activities both abroad and on the Czech music scene, and his concert promises an extraordinary musical experience.

Bedřich Smetana originally thought of a comic opera with librettist Eliška Krásnohorská. In the end, while composing his last completed opera, the composer found moments in the romantic text, inspired by an old legend about a wall of stones built by the devil on the river by the Vyšehrod monastery, that gave the whole story a different tone. Smetana's isolation in Jabkenice and his dismal health and depression were reflected in the individual characters, and the comicalness was replaced by the depth of their feelings. The humor did not disappear either, but it is combined with the desire for love, life wisdom, melancholy and devilish temptation, so that the main tone was a celebration of love, loyalty and dedication.
