Ukulele Orchestra as Brno is a group of players and fans of the ukulele, originally a Hawaiian instrument resembling a small guitar, united by age and musical experience. The group was formed at the end of 2010, at that time still in a smaller number. After the first performances, a group of amateur and professional musicians quickly formed, who gradually built a unique approach and repertoire consisting of cover versions of well-known songs, presented with the aim of entertaining themselves and the audience. The path of the individual members to the ukulele was different, but the basic impulse was the inspiration from Tom Hodgkinson's book The Lazy Parent and personal contact with its author in connection with the Czech translation of the book. In it, the author - himself a promoter of the ukulele - highlights the advantages of this compact instrument with a unique sound and even claims that the ukulele should not be missing in any household. All this is evidenced by the ever-growing popularity of this instrument among professionals and music enthusiasts.

In 2006, five young musicians came together in Brno with a common desire to experience the legacy of rock giants Led Zeppelin firsthand. Together, they founded the band Myst with the aim of conveying to listeners the unique atmosphere of legendary songs such as Stairway To Heaven, Immigrant Song, Whole Lotta Love and many others. The performance of the now experienced musicians is not so much about authentic appearance as about the sound and energy that Led Zeppelin were famous for. Few singers can come close to Robert Plant's voice on stage like frontman Zdeněk. Guitarist Ondra, on the other hand, brilliantly mastered Page's riffs at the age of thirteen. The rhythm section, performed by the energetic bassist Mira and drummer Menat, with a gong and Ludwig drums, will remind you why the airship was made of lead. Marek joins them on keyboards to bring the sound to perfection in thoughtful songs such as No Quarter. ...and a double-neck guitar as a bonus! In 2023, guitarist Derias left the band after many years and was replaced by Ondra.

She is an author, composer, lyricist, pianist – a complete singer-songwriter in the strongest sense of the word.
