Berlin-based producer Boys Noize and the Fléda Club’s anniversary celebrations

German DJ and producer Boys Noize will present his new album +/- in Brno. This prominent personality of the electronic scene will perform at the Fléda Club as part of the celebration of the club’s 20th anniversary. The work of this musician, innovative in terms of genre, is on the border of techno, house and electro-pop.

Boys Noize is one of the most respected electronic producers of his generation. During a career spanning nearly two decades, he has worked with such luminaries as A$AP Rocky, Snoop Dogg, Bon Iver, Chance The Rapper and Tommy Cash. Currently, after a five-year hiatus, he is releasing his anticipated down-the-line album entitled +/-. “It’s probably one of the records that I put the most effort into - the artwork, the music, simply everything,” Boys Noize explains in an interview with Billboard magazine, adding: “I'm showing so many new and different things. My DJ sets are mainly techno and house. I don’t think people expected me to make a record like this, but for me it’s a refreshing thing.” Boys Noize will perform on 12th November 2021 at 9 p.m. at Fléda Club.

Alex Ridha aka Boys Noize is one of the most anticipated guests of FXX, that is, the birthday celebration season. In addition to its re-opening, the Fléda Club celebrates twenty years of its existence this year. “Boys Noize is one of the most influential producers of our time. It’s a genre chameleon, but one that retains a clear signature. That’s true whether he’s producing for Depeche Mode or Ty Dolla $ign, whose song Midnight Hour was nominated for a Grammy award,” adds artistic administrator Marie Butula Cichá. The core of Boys Noize’s work is techno and house. It is his dark bangers like “Overthrow” or “Cerebral” through which the German musician has won fans around the world. They also form the backbone of his DJ sets acclaimed by his fans as well as reviewers.

Ridha made his debut as a DJ at the age of 15. His rich career to date includes five studio albums, several mixtapes, singles and remixes. He has been crisscrossing the world with his mesmerizingly lively show. He is regularly featured at major festivals such as Coachella and Glastonbury. At the same time, he is still welcome in underground meccas like Berghain. His new album +/- (pronounced “Polarity”) was released in September via his own respected label BOYSNOIZE RECORDSRidha’s guests this time include alt-pop artists such as Rico Nasty, Tommy Cash, Corbin and ABRA.

The final concert of this year’s instalment of the Barbara Maria Willi Presents series offered a unique project that on 4 December brought together two ensembles in the Convent of the Brothers of Mercy:  Cappella Pratensis and Ramillete de Tonos. They showed the audience the many different ways in which one can work with the polyphonic repertoire of the 15th and 16th centuries. The programme intertwined sacred and secular music, and purely vocal, vocal-instrumental and purely instrumental pieces.  more

The rediscovery and digitisation of the Brno polyphonic manuscripts BAM 1 and BAM 2 has opened a new chapter in the study and performance of Renaissance music. At the crossroads of historical research, modern technology, and artistic interpretation stands Past Forward, a cross-border project connecting institutions from the Netherlands, Belgium and the Czech Republic. At its artistic core are two musicians whose approaches complement each other: Tim Braithwaite, artistic director of Cappella Pratensis, and Kateřina Maňáková, lutenist, teacher of early plucked instruments at Janáček Academy of Performing Arts and guarantor of the entire initiative. In this conversation, they discuss working with previously overlooked sources, the challenges of historically informed performance, the promises of international collaboration, and their vision for the future of early-music interpretation.  more

The concert by Filharmonie Brno under Dennis Russell Davies on Thursday 6 November in Besední dům offered a fascinating programme combining the work of two contemporary composers from the former Soviet Union.

Moravian Autumn, organised by the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra, has long been one of the most important musical events of the autumn season.

This project, which originated at JAMU as an experiment within the course in practical dramaturgy, has evolved into a fully-fledged and respected part of the festival programme over the past few years.  more
