Bazant Pohoda 2010

14 ^th YEAR OF THE FESTIVAL BAŽANT POHODA

TRENČÍN AIRPORT, JULY 8., 9. and 10. 2010

In 2010, it is going to be the 14^th year of the Festival Bažant Pohoda, seventh time at the Trenčín Airport. Event will take place during the second week of July, one week sooner than the previous years. The original date collided with the pilgrimage in remembrance of Saint Andrej-Svorad and Beňadik to Skalka at Trenčín, which attendance has increased to nearly 15 thousand believers from Slovakia and surrounding countries during the recent years. After the discussion with the town of Trenčín and parish office of Skalka nad Váhom the organizers decided to reschedule the event so that the two most visited events of this region do not clash during one weekend.

These days organizers are completing the Festival programme and the new face of the Festival grounds is being created. Festival will again offer numerous stages - from big open air stages, to roofed stages and intimate spaces for experimental genres. This year there are going to be 9 stages. Traditional main Bažant stage, second open air Tesco stage, dance O2 stage, open amphitheatre Garnier Arena, wooden big top Magic Mirrors, European Year of Fight Against Poverty tent, Nay Dance House, arena of non-profit organizations Dobrá krajina andHarmony Kids Park. There will also be a favourite Bažant cinematograph, sport premises and space for third sector activities.

This year again Bažant Pohoda is going to be a multicultural celebration combining different kinds of art - music, dance, film, fine art and literature. Many delicates are waiting for visitors in the varied music programme. Visitors will have the possibility to enjoy one of the most wanted British bands of these times The xx, leader of the British indie scene Ian Brown, one of the most essential formations of dance scene Leftfield is coming to Slovakia after years, punk-rock legends - The Stranglers- are also looking forward to their concert as well as the queen of funkySharon Jones, who is going to perform with the band Dap Kings. Eighty´s retro disco in a contemporary form will be brought to the Festival by the American quartet Scissor Sisters. Dance scene is also going to have a strong representation, apart from Leftfield there are going to perform also top artists - Digitalism DJ set, DJ Zinc and the founder of dub-step Skream. Rock scene will be represented by the Oscar winner Juliette Lewis, who is at least as good at music as at her acting career.

Organizers are going to bring to Slovakia many bands which are moving forces of the latest trends at music scenes all over the world - such as phenomenal These New Puritans, catchyCrystal Castles, dancing Friendly Fires, energetic New Zealanders Bang Bang Eche, American representatives of playful electro New Young Pony Club, French find The Shoes or exceptionally creative Micachu & The Shapes.

This year Festival is going to offer wider selection of contemporary jazz and folk. From New York there will be unique Out to lunch, from British Isles trioVD, or jazz acquisition of the music label Ninja Tune Polar Bear. Folk in its creative form will be performed by an exceptional Canadian musician Shotgun Jimmie or English Sparow and The Workshop.

Several interprets who did not have the chance to perform due to the early end of the programme last year are going to return to the Festival. We are going to see one of the forefront bands of the British contemporary scene -- Klaxons, their followers Does it Offend You, Yeah?, reggae legend Max Romeo, Jape from Ireland or stars of world music Orchestra Baobab.

Slovak pop diva Jana Kirschner, legendary Collegium Musicum, in great shape playing Puding pani Elvisovej or the traditional Festival participant, band Para will definitely not get lost among the world´s music stars. Thirty years of their existence is going to be celebrated by Chór vážkych muzikantov, five years less is going to celebrate the band Bez ladu a skladu. On the contrary, at the very beginning of their promising careers are the hopes of the Slovak music scene - experimental duo Ink Midget & Pjoni, or girls from Dunajská Streda band Moustache.

There will also be some interesting pieces of classical music in Bažant Pohoda programme, for example beautiful piece by Vivaldi Four Seasons in interpretation of Bohdan Warchal´s Slovak Chamber Orchestra, but also some contemporary creative pieces of music. The world´s premiere of the oratory for soprano, alt and bas, mixed chorus and orchestra Querela pacis byVladimír Godár in interpretation of St. Martin Cathedral Chorus, Solamente naturali orchestra and numerous soloists under the conduction of a British conductor Andrew Parrott will definitely be the ornaments of the programme. Another premiere will be performed by a top Hungarian percussion ensemble Amadinda, which will perform the piece Mallet Quartet by the pioneer of minimalism Steve Reich for the first time in Slovakia.

The special opening ceremony performed by the State Philharmonics in Košice led by the conductor Peter Breiner, who arranged national anthems of all world countries for the record label Unique, will definitely be a unique experience. They are going to play national anthems of all participating nationalities at our Festival. As there will be artist from nearly thirty countries at the Festival this year, we can expect very interesting music trip around the globe.

National anthem, Czech concretely, is in the repertoire of the band All Star Refjúdži band, which consists of refugees and foreigners living in the Czech Republic. They are going to open the second open air stage.

The Vienna Vegetable Orchestra will show the Festival visitors how the serious music can be made unseriously. They are going to make their musical instruments from vegetables right before their performance and they will prove that beautiful melodies can be produced by nearly anything.

Visitors of Bažant Pohoda will also enjoy dance, theatre, literature and discussions. Organizers are especially proud of the premiere of the Ballet of the Slovak National Theatre. Prague theatre of the physical dance DOT504 will perform internationally awarded performance 100 wounded tears.
