A few days after the opening to the exhibition of thirty artists we performed our successful site-specific project Escape (from) reality at Veleslavín Castle on October 12, 2024. Our project was created by Tomáš Žižka, Milli Janatková, Mirka Eliášová, Jana Heffernanová a Jiří Jakl. We also invited guests to perform with us – Petr Mančál (Czech National Radio), Hanka Malaníková and Hradní potok society – Veronika Zapletalová and Ondřej Laštuvka. Thank you all for cooperation and coming, we are excited the capacity of all four performances was full of people! We took care of the castle in a creative way and we´re happy the cultural programmes at Veleslavín are popular in the community.

Milli was leading all day art workshops for adults and kids at the Painting Symposium in the Bělá Castle, where she was also solo performing. Thank you, Kultura Bělá, for a great cooperation.

Beauty at the underground festival Druhý břeh! Libochovice and peaceful orchard with shadows and sun, calm atmosphere, impressive songs and singing together, with wonderful Central Bohemia Highlands and Hazmburk Castle. Thank you all! That’s why I love my creative work even if it has its challenges.

IN RHYTHM is a new single and music video bringing energy for everyday challenges. It´s a part of Milli´s solo project with a topic of lightness and gratefulness for life.

Milli Janatková again recorded the song with all vocals and instruments herself, music and lyrics included, the same as she did with her albums Transformation, Deep and Quiet, Please!. Post-production was made by her colleague Štěpán Škoch and All Senses Production, with support of Kate Hamsíková from All Senses and Milli´s agent Kuba Neubert.

Terezín Memorial: “Hindsight of the beautiful performance of a Czech – Canadian musician Lenka Lichtenberg on pictures taken by our photographer Radim Nydl! Her concert together with a singer and composer Milli Janatková, violinist Rebekah Wolkstein and double bass player Joseph Philips was honoured with standing ovation. Thank you for your participation!”

And we thank Terezín Memorial for a wonderful and impressive place to perform, we were happy to play and sing for you!

Milli Janatková performed with a guitar master and great vocalist Štěpán Rak in Prague at Velký mlýn, Folk Mill scene. Thank Jiří Vondráček for invitation and wonderful stage and thank you all for coming and concentration. We all enjoyed this performance as we were touched to sing together with you.
