Rapper M¥SS KETA visits the Fléda club. It will be her first ever concert in the Czech Republic

The Italian rapper and performer M¥SS KETA, who has been hiding her face and identity throughout her career, will perform in Brno. She will present her show for her new album Club Topperia at the Fléda club for the Czech premiere. The rapper has been hiding her face and identity her whole career.

M¥SS KETA is releasing a new album after two years. On Club Topperia, she invites listeners to a dreamy nightclub full of freedom. The record brings a critique of how dating is disappearing from the club environment at the expense of empty fun. “When you meet people at night, you talk to them. That’s what opens your mind more than anything else you do in a club. It’s about the people you meet when you come out of your shell,” explains M¥SS KETA to i-D magazine. The album’s songs feature the rapper’s role models, such as Silvia Calderoni and Francesca Cipriani, who have influenced her artistic identity. M¥SS KETA will perform on 12 November 2022 at 20:00 in the Brno club Fléda.

M¥SS KETA’s music represents a diverse mix of club genres. At the beginning of her career, she claimed attention by fusing electro, house, and R&B. Later, however, her sound opened up to pop and disco rhythms. The musician is intrinsically linked to Milan’s fashion scene and the local LGBTQ+ community. The singer is also known for her hypersexualized stylings, and her performances also include distinctive dance performances. An unmistakable element of M¥SS KETY’s artistic presentation is the face-obscuring veil, which the singer used long before the start of the queer pandemic.

M¥SS KETA has hidden her civilian identity throughout her career. She presents only her own fictional biography as the so-called Myssketian mythology. According to this, M¥SS KETA was born in 2013 as “a sensual Venus born in the shell of the Milanese club scene.” The truth is that the musician rose to fame that very year with the song “Milano, Sushi & Coca”, which ironically celebrates the local nightlife. After several successful club singles, the local personality has gradually become an international star. The debut album “L’angelo Dall’occhiale Da Sera” (2016) was released by M¥SS KETA while still under the banner of the independent collective Motel Forlanini. Further albums “UNA VITA IN CAPSLOCK” (2018), “PAPRIKA” (2019) and the dystopian EP "IL CIELO NON È UN LIMITE" (2020) have already been released under Universal. The major label has opened the performer’s doors to well-known addresses such as Badaboum in Paris, Berghain in Berlin and the Melt festival.

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
