B-Side Band 20 Years + Guests: Jiří Korn + Jiří Langmajer + Michal Prokop + LaVance Colley (USA) + Kristýna Daňhelová — Municipal Theatre Brno, Brno

Buy ticket

A gala concert at Městské divadlo Brno will celebrate 20 years of the B-Side Band. The venue is no coincidence — it was here that the orchestra performed its first concert two decades ago.

On stage with the big band will be Jiří Korn, Jiří Langmajer, Michal Prokop, LaVance Colley (USA), and Kristýna Daňhelová. The programme features original arrangements prepared especially for this evening.

The evening will also include the opening of a photography exhibition by Jeff and Tiny Kratochvilovi documenting the orchestra's history.

About the venue: Municipal Theatre Brno

Brno City Theatre (MdB) was founded in 1945 as Svobodné divadlo and has carried its current name since 1996. On Lidická Street it runs two permanent stages - the Drama Theatre (365 seats) and the Music Theatre (680 seats), which was built as the best-equipped theatre in Europe at the time. The programme spans classical drama, comedy and international musicals, many of which premiere in the Czech Republic here first. The company tours regularly across Europe and organises its own music-theatre festival, Dokořán.

His Thalia Award for lifetime achievement and 2024 induction into the Anděl Hall of Fame reflect the breadth of a career still very much alive on stage.
