The Drumming for Bubny is an event that represents breaking the silence of passive observation. The date is symbolic – the sad anniversary of the first Jewish transport which left Bubny train station in 1941.
During the first Drumming event in 2015, almost one thousand drummers came together despite the heavy rain. Every year after that, the Drumming has been supported by hundreds of people. This year, due to the epidemiological situation, all the drummers were represented by just one man: Jaroslav Kořán. Immediately afterward, a concert by the Bennewitz Quartet was performed in the main hall of the train station and transmitted by Czech public TV ČT art.
The musical program was selected as a tribute to people whose departure meant a tragic end to Prague’s Czech-Jewish-German intercultural balance of interwar Czechoslovakia.
