It has not finished with Janáček!
The Brno Contemporary Orchestra (BCO) was established in 2011 with the purpose to present contemporary world music at home and Czech music abroad (with overlaps to the music of the 20th century).
We want to draw up listeners and show them that the music is a part of our daily life. By compact dramaturgic units and by original projects linking music with other arts (film, visual arts, etc.) we wish to be attractive not only for the audience, but even for composers – which we want to motivate to create new pieces made-to-measure for the orchestra.
The founder, artistic director and conductor of BCO is Pavel Šnajdr.

Description:
Marking the 80th anniversary of the launch of passenger boat service on the Brno Reservoir
In the dense forests near the second-largest small town, there once was a village—renowned for its breathtaking beauty and exceptional infrastructure. Its inhabitants were remarkably educated, intelligent, wise, kind, humble, tolerant, and good-hearted. In this polis, people loved one another, helped each other, didn’t compete, and lived in peace and harmony.
One day, however, a dog ran into the village from the nearby town and bit a respected citizen on the calf. For the first time, someone got angry. The respected citizen shouted at the others, demanding to know which fool had let the dog in. The town’s mayor was also enraged—and so furious, in fact, that he ordered the mythical place to be flooded. As a reminder of human failure, he decreed that steamships would forever float above the sunken intellectuals.
