Ostrava Days Festival
Me @ bus stop - Ostrava Days poster
(Photo: Mylène Meester)The Ostrava Days conclude with a one week festival of concerts in either the Dum Kutury (House of Culture, or in short: Philharmonic Hall) or the well equipped concert hall of the Janacek Conservatory. This last week functions as a pressure cooker. While the first week only has seminars, discussions, private meetings and lectures, the second week adds rehearsals, last week added 2 concerts a day, except for Monday; we then had three concerts to go.
Although my amount of time was limited during these last week I had my camcorder with me during several rehearsals giving me the opportunity to shoot some footage. I created a couple of one minute musical portraits of 10 of my fellow resident students.
I will put them online as soon as I am back in Holland.
BTW, the Ostrava Days 2005 ended on August 27, but I have some more postings due for my blog.
