Music Festival

This weekend was rich in both sport and cultural events in Brno, Czech Republic. As every year, The Grand Prix of the Czech Republic was organized at The Masaryk Circuit. There were about 250.000 visitors. At the same time, the so-called Brno’s Day took place. This event is organized every year as the remark of the important historical thing from history of Brno and the remark of the heroism of the Brno inhabitants in besiege a town by Swedes during Thirty Years' War (1618 – 1648 in Middle Europe) in year 1645. The small group of the defenders with help of city inhabitants resisted to the attack of the huge superiority of Swedish army of the general Torstenson and Brno was never captured. The 400th birth of the marshal Louis Raduit de Souches was celebrated this year. He was the army commander of Brno then. This year was also open public his crypt in St. Jacob church.
The third event, which has begun last Thursday, was the 9th International Spilberk Festival organized by Brno Philharmonic every year. I was also there and the Hollywood Night was on program, i.e. movie music. The following ones had the big success: C'era una volta il West (Once Upon a Time in the West) and The Phantom of the Opera.
