The Prime Minister supports the concert hall in Brno; its establishment will be discussed by the government

The group will consist of representatives from the Ministry of Culture, Finance, as well as from the South Moravian Region and the city of Brno. "The task of the group is to utilize the results achieved so far on the Janáček Cultural Center project and prepare materials by the middle of this year, which the Minister of Culture will present at the government cabinet meeting," Ayrer stated.

The region and the city will now negotiate mutual cooperation for the implementation of the project, including financial cooperation. "The government will look for ways to financially support the realization of this cultural project, which is of great significance not only from the perspective of Brno and the South Moravian Region, but also for the whole of the Czech Republic," said Sobotka.

The center is expected to be the home of the Brno Philharmonic. "The orchestra really needs appropriate facilities. It has no place to rehearse and perform large compositions. Not to mention that we cannot invite top foreign artists here because there is simply nowhere to host them," said Marie Kučerová, director of the Brno Philharmonic.

For a long time, the concert hall in Brno was only discussed, but there was never money for it. However, after the new coalition of ANO, Žít Brno, KDU-ČSL, and SZ took office, things began to move. The mayor's deputy responsible for culture, Matěj Hollan (Žít Brno), who advocated for the progress of the project, previously told ČTK that the construction would require 1.3 billion crowns. According to him, Brno can contribute about half a billion crowns to it. The hall is expected to be completed in 2019 and will offer 1250 seats. Currently, the rescue archaeological survey has concluded at the corner of Besední and Veselé streets, where it will be built. On Thursday, construction machinery should occupy the site to begin the first phase of building underground garages. The city intends to start the construction of the center itself at the end of next year.
