DAY 8: BRODY

Brody is a tiny little town nestled in the Polish countryside. Our main goal in Brody was to put on an outdoor festival in front of the ruins of another one of the palaces where the Promnitz family resided. The two buildings flanking the palace ruins were restored, one of them into a hotel (where we stayed--lovely!), and one into an elegant concert hall. Each band played a set outdoors, and then the day concluded with a formal evening concert featuring Telemann violin duos and our jazz quintet. The mayor of Brody attended, and he expressed great gratitude to us for visiting their town; they rarely have visitors from so far away.




Finally, a lovely video that Elizabeth shot behind the ruins:
