Do you like flipping through the calendar? Do you ever dream while looking into it and imagine what happened on that day exactly 100, 150, 200... years ago? Do you enjoy anniversaries, preferably round ones, and holidays? We do, and accordingly we have also prepared a cycle of family concerts in the 2024/2025 season. We will remember important anniversaries of premieres of compositions, births of composers, musical events, as well as holidays and so on, which are linked to the respective period in which the concert is taking place. The main dramaturg (the one who chooses the compositions) is therefore time. And you will be a bit of one, too, because we will give you the opportunity to choose one song for each concert - democratically, of course. Come create, listen and have fun with us.

WILL VINSON & AARON PARKS
Saxophonist Will Vinson and pianist Aaron Parks have been meeting in various formations for twenty years. Now the time has come for them to try the most intimate and, according to many musicians, the most difficult thing: the format of just a duo. For his needs, they adapted their older warehouse by and supplement the concert program with classic jazz material, which, however, they present with a highly personal, original contribution. The joint chamber performance of such experienced musicians of the middle jazz generation will undoubtedly be a very powerful experience not only from a purely musical point of view, but also in the sense of perfect mutual communication between creators who have been "listening to each other" for a long time.

YOUNG BLOOD or MUSIC CLOSE UP III
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.

Brno Philharmonic: Drummer beats
Someone wise said that playing drums is like living in a toy store. Everyone can play with something completely different here for a while! And what can be played? And do drummers even need instruments? And isn't there a bit of a drummer in each of us? An interactive concert in which children appear as equal partners of the musicians and are literally "within their reach". No sitting on chairs, but lots of musical entertainment for 3 to 6 year olds. moderated by: Kristýna Drášilová and Magdalena Dostálová Performer: Kristýna Švihálková (percussion) Venue: Meeting House

SPRING CONCERT OF CANTILENS
Perhaps the most popular composition for the celebration of spring is the cantata "Opening the Wells" by Bohuslav Martinů, which is why it will appear again after some time on the program of the spring concert. It will be complemented, among other things, by Slovak folk songs newly arranged by Kantiléna's "court pianist" Marko Paľa and the premiere of a playful series written by František Fiala, who has recently collaborated with Kantiléna repeatedly.
