Sometimes it happens that a virtuoso at a young age soars above the horizon, shines, and disappears.

One of the most iconic personalities of the contemporary jazz scene, personifying its changeability and intertwining with other genres, proving that if something is not current jazz, it is an unexciting soundtrack to the coffee of aunts sitting on spa colonnades.

In 1987, the harsh reality of urban life in New York's Brooklyn gave birth to one of the pioneering and even revolutionary bands that were not afraid to boldly combine the incompatible at the time: hip-hop and hardcore metal. BIOHAZARD, similar to what happened in Prague with Downset, will not come to Brno alone. They teamed up with LIFE OF AGONY, who are also an essential name of the New York music scene of the early 90s!

The Orchestral Academy of the Brno Philharmonic (OAFB) is a project that enables young talented musicians – students or recent graduates of music schools accepted on the basis of a selection process – to gain orchestral practice in a professional ensemble. In this way, the Philharmonic trains new generations of players who may one day join its ranks. The OAFB has been operating for six seasons and its fruits are already evident: some of its graduates are already members of our orchestra, others regularly return to help out. The importance and value of this experience for the artistic growth of young musicians and for the future of the orchestra is thus indisputable.

The story of visionary creativity that changed the way women dress. Coco Chanel as fearlessness, ferocity and risk, as well as taste, philosophy and brand. Contemporary ballet by Mário Radačovský about a woman who fundamentally influenced the world of fashion.

Although he was born in Switzerland, which, admittedly, is not exactly a jazz powerhouse, if you don't count the Montreux festival, of course, he had a good family background for music. When he was allowed to play the first children's drum kit at home at the age of two, and he barely had enough time to explore musically, he was already sitting on the drum stool in his father's band, a professional bassist. At eighteen, he got his first professional engagement in the band of Jamaican jazz pianist Monty Alexander, with whom he completed a European tour of major festivals and even managed to accompany such stars as Dizzy Gillespie or Nina Simone on one occasion.

You may know Jakub König as the singer and author of the songs of the bands Kittchen, Animal Named Autumn or Giant Peach.

In September 2023, Jakub released his first solo album Hvězdy at Animal Music, which was jointly produced by Petr Ostrouchov and Aid Kid. The genre-diverse record oscillates between dance electronica and psychedelic pop and offers several ways to deal with it live.

For the second level of elementary school, gymnasium and secondary vocational schools. Introduce students to theater genres in a different way! What do opera and ballet have in common and how are they different? What does the production process look like from the first idea to the finished performance? What professions work in the theater and what do we actually need them for? What must a choreographer, director, costume designer or stage designer think about in order to make a performance successful? We will find the answer to these and many other questions together at the workshop - How is opera done x How is ballet done?

Australian hard rockers Airbourne are coming to Brno! Known for their uncompromising energy and wild live shows, this four piece band will get your blood pumping with their fifth studio album 'Boneshaker'. The record is a celebration of raw, authentic rock 'n' roll, inspired by the classics of the late 70s - a time when technology wasn't the driving force behind the show, when it was all about energy and authentic spirit and performance; when tape recorders still gave recordings extra warmth and weight, and when perfection was not sought, but compositions that work on an emotional, primal, visceral level, exposing the raw and harsh beauty of the rock'n'roll lifestyle. Turn it up! Leave a mark!

We're all about playing bluegrass, especially in G, fast and loud. We do it because we enjoy it - and there are those who claim that it shows in us. The repertoire consists of melodies taken from American bluegrass and newgrass bands, but we also like to play classic country hits or songs from the repertoire of Czech rock and blues musicians. Since our English is not the most refined, and we are closer to a Moravian cellar than to a prairie with blue grass, we use Czech texts by our "court" lyricists Richard Málk, Richard Lukes, Petra Švecová and others for the English songs.

Premiere.

Do not test relationships, you risk that your girlfriend devotes her feelings to someone else or Mozart full of eroticism on the stage of the Mahen Theater. The complex relationships between men and women await you through the eyes of the young director Anna Petrželková. That's how they all are, or The School of Lovers, that's the title of the third opera, which was created from the artistic partnership of librettist Lorenzo da Ponte and composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a story about a seemingly harmless bet on female fidelity. But nothing is ever black and white in human relationships, and this is especially true in this opera. Mozart actually followed up on the previous works Don Giovanni and The Marriage of Figaro, which are difficult to put into a precise box - they always give us a mischievous smile in the middle of the drama, and on the contrary, tears and anger are rarely hidden behind the laughter.

King David had three sons. Jiří, Jakub and the youngest Jan. When the king fell ill, Queen Agnes remembered a strange dream from long ago about the existence of miraculous living water. The hopes and thoughts of the entire kingdom are now attached to her, and it is up to the young royals to gradually go out into the world and try to get living water and save the life of the dying king. And as is the case in good fairy tales, the path to a happy ending is complicated, full of adventures and pitfalls, and three cursed princesses cannot be missing.

DMITRIJ SHOSTAKOVIĆ Symphony no. 4 in C minor op. 43 Steven Isserlis cello

Brno Philharmonic

conductor Dennis Russell Davies

Steven Isserlis The legendary British cellist regularly performs concerts with the world's leading symphonic ensembles (Berlin Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Vienna Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, etc.), with chamber orchestras (Scottish, Australian, Zurich, Mahler, and the St Paul Chamber Orchestra) and with ensembles of period instruments (Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra). In classical programs, he often conducts chamber orchestras from solo cello. He premiered a number of new works that were written for him (John Tavener's The Protecting Veil, Thomas Adès's Lieux retrouvés or Wolfgang Rihm's One Movement Concerto), and he is also interested in the learned interpretation of early music.

Hailing from Berlin and shaped by the German electronic scene and culture, Nils Hoffmann has always found solace in music. A classically trained pianist, he grew up listening to producers like Paul Kalkbrenner and Trentemoller. Enough inspiration to start producing intense, melodic and progressive house. Nils Hoffmann is currently one of the most followed young electronic artists in the world, not only thanks to his precise live performance. To date, it has amassed over 100 million streams across all platforms. In 2022 Nils released his second album A Radiant Sign on the Anjunadeep label. To date, the record has amassed over 15 million streams, reached #1 on the itunes dance/electronic charts, and received radio airplay on the BBC and Sirius XM. Nils has also prepared remixes for artists such as Odesza, San Holo, Emmit Fenn, Eli & Fur and more. Hoffmann has toured extensively in Europe, North America and Australia, where he played for example at Printworks, Brooklyn Mirage, The Gorge Amphitheater and Tomorrowland. In the role of support, he appeared alongside such stars as Ben Bohmer, Gorgon City, Franky Wah, Stephan Bodzin, Tiga and others.

Play along with the Philharmonic, ask questions during the concert, sing, dance. Everything is allowed. Without barriers and inhibitions, with music between us.

The concert is intended for parents and their children aged 4-9.

Hailing from the US and the UK, Strangelove – The DEPECHE MODE Experience delivers a perfect concert that takes listeners back in time and touches on several key points in Depeche Mode's 45-year career. Songs from the entire canon of more than fifty Depeche Mode chart-topping hits are lovingly recreated and have the atmosphere and youthful energy of a classic-era DM arena concert. No detail of STRANGELOVE's presentation was left out; and stage decorations and costume changes during the show reflect different eras of Depeche Mode's history. Written and recorded in London and Berlin in 1985 and released in early 1986, Depeche Mode's seminal album Black Celebration is celebrated for its dark, innovative sound and profound influence on the electronic and alternative music scene. The album's rich, alternately atmospheric and industrial tones, along with introspective lyrics, helped define the spirit of the 80s and continue to inspire generations of music lovers.

Her artistic career resembles some "fairytale" biographies. Zuzana Navarová discovered her on the street in 1993, and for three days she sang in the sanctuary of Czech singers, in Prague's Lucern. A few weeks later, she triumphed here as the "opener" of the famous American singer-songwriter Susanne Vega, and six years later she had the same honor at a Mike Oldfield concert. Since then, she has released a number of very successful solo albums that break sales records without any advertising, won several Golden Angels and also scored in the Golden Nightingale poll. Thanks to its uniqueness and original songs, drawing primarily from the Czech tradition, it also attracted audiences abroad, for example in Poland and France. Radůza can accompany herself on several musical instruments, her singing thunders, but she also gently tells touching stories.
