Since forming in Bradford in 1980, New Model Army have gone through everything from punk rebellion to northern English folk influences to dark rock. Their sound is built on a dominant, pulsating bass guitar and the charismatic voice of frontman Justin Sullivan, whose lyrics about social injustice and personal freedom have lost none of their relevance in 45 years. They have immortal classics like Vengeance and Thunder and Consolation, as well as a fresh approach in the form of the well-received album Unbroken. The band is famous for their devoted fan base, "The Family", and concerts where blood and emotion are sweated without unnecessary studio embellishments. New Model Army don't need pyro or confetti; they just need guitars and the truth that cuts to the heart.

Dan Bárta, an eleven-time winner of the Anděl Award in the categories Singer of the Year and Singer of the Quarter Century, became widely known in the 1990s with the band Alice and his performance in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. He also became an integral part of the cult J.A.R. His broad musical outlook was used from the danceable Sexy Dancers to popular songs from films (including Snowboarders, Rafťáci, Horem pádem) to jazz associated with, for example, the Robert Balzar trio. He left his significant mark in a number of other domestic musical projects and also performed with the greats of the world music scene (e.g. with the phenomenal singer Bobby McFerrin or with Sting's court guitarist Dominik Miller). In 2000, Dan Bárta surprised fans with his own group Illustratosphere, with which he has released five regular albums and one live double album. The first four albums have also been released in remastered reissues and for the first time on LP. An unmistakable voice with excellent singing technique, lyrics playing with the charm of the Czech language, and first-class musicians: all of this gives rise to songs that soar above the domestic standard of popular music, which have been appealing to listeners across generations for 25 years!

Every summer, the Bishop's Court turns into an open-air theatre. This year, we will present Romeo and Juliet at this venue with a strong genius loci. Shakespeare's story of two young people from opposing families is probably familiar to everyone. However, in the performance of the NdB Ballet, it takes on a new form: the choreography of Mário Radačovský to the music of Sergei Prokofiev creates a powerful dance experience from this timeless tragedy. A specially adapted open-air version was created for the summer performance at the Bishop's Court - whether you have seen the production at the Janáček Theatre or not, this performance is worth a visit in itself. Last year, the ballet Romeo and Juliet was missing at the Bishop's Court - this year we will perform it for you four times.

Do you know a few chords? That's enough. Take your ukulele and join in. Ukulele Orchestra Brno is preparing a slightly different evening.

We'll play a few familiar songs, no big deal, just the joy of having more people with the same instrument. You don't have to learn anything. It's really not that complicated. If you can master a few chords, you'll play with us. Take your ukulele and join in.

Hana and Petr Ulrych, as the protagonists of the band Javory, have been active on our music scene for decades. What they sing and play has gradually crystallized into a unique musical genre that experts call "Moravian world music". The Ulrychs were the first pioneers of creatively following Moravian folklore. Their songs contain elements of folk songs and big beat, which they started with. They also contain references to Petr's film and theater music. Together with Hana's extraordinary singing quality, they offer listeners the culmination of their original musical journey, especially in the Christmas concert, which exceptionally capitalizes on all these contributions.

Poison Ruin's sound grows out of crust punk, with influences from oi!, American post-punk, NWOBHM and dungeon synth. They make heavy use of dark medieval themes and lyrical motifs, interwoven with anarchist iconography.

Dance-visual performance The dance-visual performance JARO is a reference to the natural cycle and returns to the rituals that were associated with this time. It is a tribute to nature, awareness of its power and getting rid of everything that hinders its flourishing. JARO is an essay about today, which carries traces of the past in the sense of belonging and the perception of oneself as part of the ecosystem. Society has meanwhile moved forward without regard to the natural order. But it continues to move forward without stopping, only man breaks it and thinks he can change it.
