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. In recent seasons, the Mladá krev cycle has gained a large audience, which appreciates the youthfully captivating performances of the performers, the attractive, diverse repertoire and, last but not least, the captivating atmosphere of these concerts, during which the Besední dom hall is intimately lit, atypically set up and the musicians are almost within reach , as the subtitle of the Close Up Music series suggests. During concerts, the barrier of the stage and the evening gown disappear. However, it has already become a tradition that former OAFB members or other guests also perform at Mladá krve concerts.

Tribute to the king of metal singing R.J.Dio with Jarda Barton (ex-Citron, Kreyson, Limetal). For the nine chimneys, for the nine winding roads, for the nine ancient times, the idea was born to restore the Krokus band in the Kingdom of Wallachia. And so it happened, although after nineteen concerts or nineteen beers, everything started to go towards only one card marked K. R.J. DIO became our metal king. Sheet music has been distributed and the band is launching the We Rock: DIO tribute band project. The birth of the band could date back to sometime in the 80s, but not with a long era of activity. Around 2010, the idea arose to revive this band with the help of the great rock personality Jaroslav Bartona (ex Citron), who is still active in it. After a few events where various covers were played, the decision was made to play only Ronnie James Dio's work. And so the band sails through the riffs and melodies of the bands Black Sabbath, Rainbow and Dio and is looking forward to more of his loyal fans!
