Přání. New single by Nebeztebe

The single Přání (Wish) by the Brno-based Nebeztebe band presents their upcoming album Zásobování duše (Supply of the Soul).

The single was released on the web at Supraphonline.cz and on YouTube, where, in addition to the song itself, there is also a video clip. In the ballad Přání (Wish), Nebeztebe combined the silent New Year´s Eve poem by Martina Holánková with the New Year's lyrics and music by the band's frontman Štěpán Sundream. "Přání (Wish) is the most beautiful proof of the creative power of our minds. It prevents change and is the most intimate gift we can give to ourselves and others. At the turn of the calendar, we decided to open an inconspicuous New Year's story that can touch the heart and soul," says Štěpán Sundream. In addition to Přání (Wish), Nebeztebe will offer another eight songs on its multi-genre album. Among them, for example, the instrumental song Robin v dešti (Robin in the Rain), the almost hip-hop Zvonkohra (Carillon), the soaring final opus Racek (Seagull) and the final dance Srdcovka (Heartbeat Song). The individual songs are connected by interludes and, in addition to Czech, English and Russian will also be heard on the album. "The album grows from darkness and dark to dawn and has its grand finale. Supply of the Soul has a turning point in it, which comes together with the last singing in the single Přání (Wish),” adds Štěpán.

For several years now, Nebeztebe has been building its own sound world, combining elements of acoustic, beat, folk, fusion and pop with the composition of classical and film music. With their fragility and freedom, their new songs belong to the imaginary creative space of foreign authors such as Sting and Enya, and from domestic ones, Dan Bárta & Illustratosphere or Roman Dragoun. In the past, the band has released singles such as Něžné přepadení (Gentle Assault), Cikánská (Gypsy Song) and Babylon (Babel). Nebeztebe became more widely known with their success at the oldest Czech music “Porta” festival, where in 2013 they won the South Moravian round and two years later the national round. The basis of this musical trio is the author, singer and multi-instrumentalist Štěpán Sundream, who also plays guitar, bass and rhythm line. Above them, Tereza Šlahařová's singing grows into vocal ensembles, and her string sections on the violin show a fully utilised classical music education. In line with this, the mandolin of Jan "Yetty" Vrtěna is heard, so with his experimental approach, he lets the music get to a bigger rock at the right time. However, the current Nebeztebe does not end there. While working on the album, other electronic sounds and effects from the workshop of producer Honza Shanny Fňukal were added to the original sound, while mastering is the work of Boris Carloff.

On Saturday, 24 August, the Korean radio orchestra KBS Symphony Orchestra with its musical director - Finnish conductor and violinist Pietari Inkinen - came to Brno's Špilberk Festival with an exclusively romantic repertoire. The invitation was also accepted by South Korean violinist Bomsori Kim, a graduate of the prestigious Julliard School.  more

For a quarter of a century now, the Brno Philharmonic has been organising the Špilberk Festival at the end of August in the courtyard of the castle of the same name. Four open-air musical evenings offer the audience a selection of concerts featuring classical, film and computer music, as well as often jazz and other genres. This makes it a diverse mix of performers and repertoires with an often pleasant, summery, laid-back ambience. This year's big and rapdily sold-out attraction was the Wednesday evening of 21 August, full of melodies from the James Bond films, performed by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, headed by world-renowned conductor, composer and arranger Steven Mercurio. During the concert, the audience also got to enjoy singers Sara MilfajtováVendula Příhodová and David Krausmore

As part of its European tour, the Taiwanese Taipei Philharmonic Chamber Choir (TPCC), under the direction of artistic director and choirmaster Dr. YuChung Johnny Ku, took the city up on its invitation and visited Brno. The concert was held on Monday, 13th August in the hall of the newly renovated Passage Hotel.  more

The final concert of this year's season of the Brno Philharmonic was devoted to works by Antonín Dvořák and Jean Sibelius at the Janáček Theatre. On Thursday, 20 June, Danish conductor Michael Schønwandt, who had not appeared before a Brno audience since January last year, took the lead of the Philharmonic. In the first half of the programme, the orchestra was accompanied by violinist Alexander Sitkovetskymore

In the spirit of the idea that Brno and folklore belong together, the Folklore Ensemble Happening of the Year took place on Thursday 6 June. The event was organised by the Brno UNESCO City of Music Office in cooperation with the Brno Dances and Sings association. The event thus became part of a long-term project that set out to map the amateur music scene in Brno, and not only folk music. Last year Brno City of Music reached out to choirs in a similar way, and in the future will host garage bands and more. This just goes to prove the diversity of Brno's music scene, not only as regards professional ensembles, but also enthusiastic amateurs for whom music is an inseparable part of their lives.  more
