The Tap Tap is organising “Party on Wheels” for the eighth time this year, it’s taking place in Theatre Archa on 27th March. It will also be the launch of the band’s new CD, which was recorded with Orchestra Berg and Prague’s mixed choir La Grande Bande in SONO RECORDS studio.
Celebrity entourage
David Koller, Matej Ruppert, Kamil Strihavka, Ewa Farna and others who participated on the creation of the CD will co-host the show together with the physically challenged and highly talented musicians. The concert and launch of the CD are not only one of the significant cultural events of the season but the event also marks the result of a positive musical mission by current students from Prague’s Jedlička Institute.
