Ostrava Days is a biennial new-music festival founded, and still helmed, by the longtime New Yorker, flutist, and composer Petr Kotík, who was born in Prague. The festival’s structure tends to be repeated every two years, but a recent program addition from 2019 made its successful return. On the second day, August 20, The Long Night began at 5 p.m. and continued unbroken until almost noon on Sunday, the 21st, the festival’s third day. Your scribe had already experienced an ultra-challenging day’s travel-hell on the 19th, thereby arriving too late for the opening performances in the former Hlubina Coal Mine’s, Brickhouse. The Long Night was a perfect way to recuperate!
