Two Years Later

In 2024, the project Rok poté (A Year Later) was realised as a tribute to the victims of the tragic events at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University in 2023. Two years on, we present at Radioatelier — together with one of the project's co-creators, Miroslav Tóth — three works created for the Ostrava section of the project, curated by Martin Režný. These are Dronequiem by Tomáš Šenkyřík, Voiceless Illusion by Daniel Skála, and 2112 by Tomáš Knoflíček.

Have No Fear, Kotík Is Here

In 2022, Petr Kotík, composer, conductor, and Artistic Director of the Ostrava Center for New Music, celebrated a significant birthday milestone. Several concerts were held throughout the year to mark the occasion. Two of them were organized directly by OCNM: they bore the subtitle Have No Fear, Kotík Is Here and took place in Ostrava and Prague at the end of April. More information can be found here.
