The first symposium on Frank Zappa, three erudite guests, Zappologi, will introduce you to the work, contribution and legacy of the phenomenal musician, artist and composer Frank Zappa. Our guests will present Zappa's work from different angles in a series of block lectures, which will also include visual and musical presentations:
Július Fujak , Slovak composer of experimental music and musician, music aesthetician and university lecturer, organizer of unconventional musical, artistic and scientific events.
Bohumil "BOHOUŠ" Jůza , theatre artist worked for 26 years at JAMU in Brno, now stage master on musicals staged by Carusel Production Prague, graphic designer and painter, humorist. He is the founder and president of the Czechoslovak Frank Zappa Fan Club and publisher of the club fanzine ZAPPOSTROPHE (the longest running Zappa fanzine in the world).
Michal Nejtek , graduated from the Conservatory in Teplice (piano), the Faculty of Music of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (composition) and the Faculty of Music of the JAMU in Brno (doctoral studies). He writes symphonic and chamber music and is engaged in stage projects.
The musical guest who will beautifully complement the program is the project of the guitarist (from the well-known band Sto Múch) Martin Novák. His project is called Homo Zappiens ( Denisa Jelínková - transverse flute, Martin Novák - guitar, Vincent Andreutti - percussion) and consists of musicians who are happy to interpret in colourful instrumentation, chamber spirit and their own arrangements selected compositions by Frank Zappa in the sense of the motto "music is the best".
The motto of the symposium is a well-known statement made by Frank Zappa during his visit to Prague in 1990: "Use democracy, because you will lose it".
