STYLE Obor výtvarného umění Zde triumfovala malířka Hana Puchová, která převzala cenu za loňskou výstavu Pevné vazby v ostravském Domě umění. Za literaturu byl in memoriam oceněn básník Jaroslav Žila. Divadelní část projektu Ceny Jantar V této části ocenění obdrželo osm umělců z divadelních oborů, které kopírují kategorie celostátních Cen Thálie. Za činoherní divadlo byli oceněni Pavla Dostálová z Komorní scény Aréna a David Viktora z Národního divadla moravskoslezského. Za výkony v opeře byli oceněni Barbora Řeřichová a Svatopluk Sem, za muzikál Lukáš Adam a Martina Šnytová a za balet cenu získali Barbora Šulcová a Rei Masatomi. Galavečer nenabídl pouze udělování cen jako takové, ale bohatý tříhodinový kulturní program připravený pouze pro tuto příležitost.

Vystoupila například operní pěvkyně Patricia Janečková, která za doprovodu mužského vokálního kvinteta 5PAK zazpívala píseň Jednoho dne se vrátíš a vzdala tak hold loni zesnulé zpěvačce Věře Špinarové. Zazpíval také David Stypka se zpěvačkou Ewou Farnou, kteří se představili duetem Dobré ráno, milá za podpory padesátičlenného dětského sboru Permoník. Během večera vystoupili i zpěváci Martin Chodúr a Tomáš Savka, zpěvačka Hana Fialová, ale také houslový virtuóz Jiří Vodička. Na scéně Gongu zatančili také umělci z baletního souboru Národního divadla moravskoslezského. Jak uvedl autor konceptu Aleš Honus: „Z původní myšlenky redakční ankety nám už od prvního ročníku vyrostl opravdový kolos, jehož součástí se stalo několik desítek porotců. V každém případě mohu slíbit, že na druhém ročníku začneme pracovat už za pár týdnů.“ Text a foto: Moravskoslezský kraj

Talented Artists of the Moravian-Silesian Region at Jantar Awards. The first ever award ceremony presenting winners of the Regional Cultural Awards, Jantar (Amber), was held on Sunday, April 15. The set of 16 trophies was distributed among artists who keep demonstrating outstanding qualities of culture in the Moravian-Silesian Region. The winners include Lukáš Vondráček, David Stypka, choir Permoník, painter Hana Puchová, actors Pavla Dostálová and David Viktora and opera singers Svatopluk Sem and Barbora Řeřichová. About a thousand visitors came to the Hall Gong to hear and see who and what the eight expert committees chose. The festive show introduced the best artists of the Moravian-Silesian Region. The event was organized by Ostravan.cz (a web portal focused on culture) with support by from the Council of the Moravian-Silesian Region, with the ambition to make it the main event of the season in Moravian-Silesian culture. “I am very proud of the Moravian-Silesian Region to have as many exceptionally talented personalities in all spheres of culture, most of whom have won respect on national and international levels. I do appreciate their talents, and I am very grateful for the MoravianSilesian Jantar Culture Awards: they are a perfect instrument to pay homage to local artists, express our gratitude for their intense efforts. I was very happy to deliver one of the awards in person and award Band of the Year,” says Vice Governor, Department of Culture, Mr Lukáš Curylo. Four Awards in Pop Music Three of them were awarded to songwriter from Frýdek-Místek, David Stypka who was awarded in the categories of the Male Artist Year, Song of the Year (“Dobré ráno, milá” – “Good Morning, My Dear”) and as a member of Bandjeez, who were named Band of the Year. Female Artist of the Year went to Vladivojna La Chia. Two Awards in Classical Music Permoník choir (from Karviná) won the trophy for Musical Ensemble of the Year, and pianist Lukáš Vondráček was awarded Soloist of the Year. He could not attend the celebration in person, therefore his mother Libuše Vondráčková came to collect the award.

Fine Arts Painter Hana Puchová was awarded for her exhibition “Pevné vazby” (which goes for “strong links” as well as “hard cover”) in Dům umění (Municipal House of Culture) in Ostrava in 2017. Poet Jaroslav Žila was awarded in Literature (in memoriam). Jantar Awards for Theatre Projects This part presented eight artists in categories similar to the national Thálie Awards. Pavla Dostálová (Chamber Scene Aréna) and David Viktora (National Moravian-Silesian Theatre) were awarded in Drama, Barbora Řeřichová and Svatopluk Sem in Opera, Lukáš Adam and Martina Šnytová in Musical, and Barbora Šulcová and Rei Masatomi in Ballet. The gala ceremony featured the award presentation as well as a representative three hour programme designed for this very special opportunity. The audience enjoyed opera singer Patricia Janečková accompanied by the male vocal quintet 5PAK who sang the theme from “Once Upon a Time In the West,“ which has become a cult song due to the Czech version sung by Věra Špinarová, who died last year, and this performance was dedicated to her. David Stypka and Ewa Farna performed the duet “Dobré ráno, milá” with the 50-member child choir, Permoník. More songs by Martin Chodúr and Tomáš Savka, Hana Fialová, and a composition played by violin virtuoso Jiří Vodička followed. The ballet company of the National MoravianSilesian Theatre also contributed to a show on the Gong stage. As originator of the concept, Aleš Honus commented, “The original idea of an editorial poll grew into a true giant with dozens of committee members. In a few weeks’ time we are going to start preparing for the second year.” POSITIV 1/2018
