Culture in Bohumín
POSITIV 3/2020 73
The main activities of the society include the
organization of cultural, social, and educational
events in and around Bohumín, aimed at the
promotion and development of community and
cultural life, cooperation with other institutions
both locally and internationally, and activities
preserving traditions and cultural heritage. We
have so far held a few dozen fantastic concerts
of high artistic level, with musicians such as Laco
Deczi, Tomáš Kočko, Hana Fialová, Elis Mraz, Pavel
Šporcl, Jiří Vodička, J&L Rokyta, Camerata Janáček,
the Oderberg Quartett, and others. We do not
specialize in a particular style of music or arts. The
music ranges from traditional folk to modern rock,
chanson to classical; movies screenings take their
turns among theatre performances or sword fi ghts.
This autumn, we are preparing a series of concerts
in cooperation with the International Music
Festival Musica Pura, crowned by a gala concert
of world-famous jazz multi-instrumentalist Marius
Preda, who has played with such artists as Arturo
Sandoval, Mike Stern, Vladimir Cosma, Didier
Lockwood, André Rieu, Gheorghe Zamfi r, Robby
Lakatos, John Patitucci and other musicians from
various parts of the world.
