Friends of Ostrava Days
Friends of Ostrava Days is an exclusive
association of selected personalities who support independent musical
activities existing outside of institutionalized organizations, exemplified by
the biennial Ostrava Days Institute and Festival. Being on the outside of the
conventional music world offers lively and daring experiences. It means taking
chances, sometimes controversial and uncompromising.
