In the summer, you want to play it easy!

Play in the Unijazz Reading Room at one of our summer acoustic concerts. Whether you are starting a new musical project or have been at home on stage for years, we welcome your music in acoustic form. Invite your loved ones and your fan club to come and chill and tune in with us in the summer heat. During the evening, there will be performance opportunities for 3-4 projects (soloists* and multi-member groups - acoustic playing is a requirement). Each project will receive a maximum of 30 minutes of playing time and money from the audience, collected during the performance "in the hat / in the case".
Technical conditions:
- there will be a power supply on the stage, max. two microphones with stands and an active speaker for the vocals
- custom sound (e.g. 10-15W combo) for guitar, bass or keyboards can also be used. However, it will not be possible to install your own complete sound equipment
- percussion will include cajon, tambourine or other acoustic percussion. It will not be possible to use a full drum kit
- We don't want to limit ourselves in terms of genre, and we in the Reading Room organizing team would like to broaden our horizons.
Then we will choose from the flood of interested women responsibly to the (d)ears of those listening. 🙂
Concert dates (always start at 19:00):
Tuesday 8. 7.
Tuesday 22. 7.
Tuesday 5. 8.
Tuesday 19. 8.
Those interested in playing can apply to dramaturgie.citarna@unijazz.cz by Saturday 25th June.

🌳Čestmír Huňát about the vote to preserve trees planted by the Jazz Section and American writers:

🌳 There is still a struggle to preserve the public space at Kačerov near the former Jazz section house and its reclamation. So far, Prague 4 has managed to include the initiative to reclaim this space in the voting within the participatory part of the 2025 budget and its implementation can be voted online. Unfortunately, so far our initiative does not have many votes, so I would like to ask for your help. I will be glad if you support the project by voting, if not for the sake of the Jazz Section or Unijazz, then for the sake of preserving more green space in Prague. The petition has the number 12362 and is published about third in order under the title "Reclamation of the urban green around the Jazz Section monument". After clicking on it you can vote and after verification in the mail your vote is counted.

🌳 Attention, you can only vote *until 9.5. till 12:00!* Let's try to do something about it. And it would be great if you could use your address books and manage to get some more votes.
Thank you very much,
for Unijazz Čestmír Huňát
