Gerhard Gruber
Saturday 8. 10.
18:00 – 20:15, Divadelní kavárna

Renowned Austrian pianist and composer who specializes in musically accompanying silent films. During the festival he will accompany the classical German film „Pandora’s box“ (Die Büchse der Pandora, 1929) by G.W. Pabsta with his music. He became an accompanist by chance when he was offered the opportunity to accompany one of Chaplin’s grotesques.
Since 1983 Gerhard Gruber has been working and performing as a composer and musician for theater. The basis of his work is improvisation, which he regards as the best way to create a new kind of dialogue between the events on screen, his music and the public. Thanks to this method his performance is original every time. Gerhard Gruber is always keen on returning to his work with film again and again so he can pass on these emotions to his audience.
Road Side Mary
Saturday 8.10.
20:30 - 21:20, Divadlo Pod čarou

The members of the band Road Side Mary have been perennial stars for a couple of years now at club scenes primarily in Prague, even though they have performed at a number of festivals outside the city. Their style is influenced by British indie rock mixed with modern pop rock. The short distinct riffs of two electric guitars, drums that will move you and a seasoning of electronic samples are characteristic for the sound of Road Side Mary. The concert in Písek will be a turning point for the band because after-wards they will be performing in a different assemblage. All of this guarantees a high-performance musical experience.
