MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2006 - 7:30 pm 10/9
benefit concert for hurricane victims (Brookhaven MS) 
The
Brno Chamber Soloists, a string chamber orchestra, will perform works by
Czech composers, as well as works by Grieg, Mozart, and J.C. Bach. The concert
will feature soloists Michiko
Otaki (piano) and Jan Škrdlík (cello) in concertos by Mozart and
J.C. Bach. Miloš Vacek, the first
violin of the Janácek Quartet, established the Brno Chamber Soloists in
the 1990s. An ensemble of experienced musicians from the city of Brno organized
and performed a number of concerts in the Czech Republic and neighboring countries.
In the 2003 violinist Jiri Besperát became the artistic director. This
new ensemble debuted that summer with a performance of Handel's Messiah
at the international festival "The Landscape of Music" in the city of
Telc. In January of 2004 they released a CD of works by Myslivecek, Janácek,
Suk and Štedron, through the publisher Gnosis, in support of the celebration
"Years of Czech music."
