What's Brno Need? Unsilent Night
Brian organized a cool piece in Baltimore. It's worth watching the video. Now that is the kind of thing Brno needs for the holidays.* I would love to organize it, but there are reasons why I won't be able to:
a) I'm leaving in a week.
b) I would probably gather a group of English speakers and people would think we were just a hoarde of Americans trying to take the city by storm.
But perhaps someday Brno will be ready.
*I was at a "Czechgrass" concert (Czech bluegrass) this evening, and they started by saying that they had thought about playing Christmas carols. But, well [bronx cheer here], they didn't. Whew!

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.
Comments:
It's pretty easy to get a performance together—dubbing all the tapes and CDs is time consuming though. The event is quirky enough that it catches the attention of the local media pretty easily, which helps recruiting efforts immensely. I'm surprised that nobody's done this in Ann Arbor yet.

I heard a story about this on NPR and I was SO VERY EXCITED and thought, wow, I want that to happen HERE in Seattle!
