The opening concert of the Music is festival will be given by the top French ensemble Les Percussions de Strasbourg on Thursday the 10th of October in the DOX+ multifunctional hall. The ensemble will appear once again in Prague after 37 long years. They will present "Eight Inventions" and "Eight Ricercari" by Miloslav Kabeláč. Both pieces were commissioned by the ensemble.
"Eight Inventions" was written by Kabeláč in 1962 and is one of his most famous works. After the extraordinary success of the cycle, he composed another cycle "Eight Ricercari" at the request of the ensemble. Kabeláč's "Eight Inventions" and the more recent "Eight Ricercari" will be performed at the concert together with works by Iannis Xenakis and Ondřej Adámek. The international ensemble will demonstrate to what extent music for percussion can be created and experienced in the 21st century. Founded in 1962, Les Percussions de Strasbourg is one of the most important musical groups thanks to its exceptional repertoire. In addition to new commissioned works, it also performs masterpieces of the 20th and 21st centuries.
This autumn, the Music is festival will offer concerts of classical, electronic and jazz music. The theme of this year's season explores the fascinating world of percussion. The Music is festival is a direct successor to the American Spring Festival, which was first held in 2006. Its main idea is to celebrate music and present it in its diversity, not just as a form of entertainment, but as a means of inspiration and discovery of ourselves and the world around us.

The unique production combines a physical theatre performance with live music and a film starring child actors of Farm in the Cave studio to communicate an urgent, yet widely overlooked, topic – the online radicalisation of youth.
Essential Sciarrino+
The Ostrava New Music Centre returns to the DOX+ hall with another contribution to the Essential concerts series. This year's edition will focus on the exceptional work of the Italian avant-gardist, composer of uncompromising and fragile music Salvatore Sciarrino.
Czech Hero
Satirical physical theater production Czech Hero by the theatre ensemble Farm in the Cave, which focuses on the contemporary and pressing topic of disinformation and political marketing. Movement, words, live music, dynamics, energy, exaggeration. All this in the DOX+ hall.
Ondřej Pivec & Kennedy Administration
In the DOX+, SOČR will present a concert by Czech jazz musician Ondřej Pivec, who is one of the few to have succeeded in establishing himself on the American music scene, together with American vocalist Kennedy.
Goodbye KAFKAesque!
Closing of this year's FALL festival and KAFKAesque exhibition. The soloists of the BERG Orchestra will perform Steve Reich's Different Trains and Gideon Lewensohn's Odradek.
Al Weat 812: Kunkava intervenes!
Under the nickname Al Weat 812 hides the occasional artist and leader of the family publishing house Kunkava. Her work is exhibited in the Fine Art Archive.
Adam Štech: houellebecq!
The exhibition houellebecq! by Adam Štech is neither a tribute to the French writer Michel Houellebecq nor an illustration of his works. Nor does it attempt to interpret or explain anything of his texts. Štech explores primarily himself, mediated in any way.
Point of View: Identity
Another instalment of the long-term project, which combines the format of an exhibition and a classroom and focuses on the theme of human identity. Who am I? What am I? The human form naturally takes centre stage; the body, its clothing, its behaviour. A person's identity and the different ways of looking at it.
Melancholy of the Outer Limits
The exhibition Melancholy of the Outer Limits presents, for the first time in its entirety, an extensive body of paintings created over the last ten years. Filled with faceless people lost in the ruins of cities, these paintings are a mirror of the artist's own soul.
