Welcome to web pages of Blues Alive
The 15th year of the festival BLUES ALIVE will take place in the House of Culture in Šumperk and the surrounding areas from 18th to 21st November 2010. The programme is being prepared these days and we can promise that we will try to please you with the balanced dramaturgy offering classic blues and as usual, a look round the corner. As this anniversary is the reason for celebrating, we have prepared several surprises for you.
BLUES ALIVE is not only a great festival in November, but also an increasing number of events that we prepare to make your waiting shorter. The nearest one is an international show ECHO BLUES ALIVE, which takes place on 12th March in the House of Culture. This event is sure to remind you of some artists who have impressed you in last years and to bring out another overseas star.
The competitive musicians and fans will be welcomed on 19th June at the festival BLUES APERITIV, which is to present ten bands (deadline is on 15th April) Two champions will get a chance to play during Blues Alive this autumn, as well as on the stage in Polish Chorzów and this year for the first time in the summer festival in Boskovce in South Moravia.
The stage called BLUES ALIVE IN BOSKOVICE is this year innovation. Our dramaturgy took part in the Boskovice festival with favourable response last year and this year we have made the official twinning with the Boskovice organizers, the agency Unijazz. This has resulted into the separate blues concert on 8th July, which we hope will contribute to the Boskovice festival and will introduce BLUES ALIVE to the audience that has not heard about it yet.
We wish you the early spring and we are looking forward to seeing you at one of the events of BLUES ALIVE heading
