1) Exhibition of photographs by PhDr. František Synek. A selection from the author's extensive photographic work will present snapshots from performances by foreign folklore ensembles from various countries on festival stages throughout Europe. Not only excellent and unrepeatable dance moments are shown, but also pure joy and happiness from extraordinary moments brought by performances with folk dance, song and music, and the unrepeatable beauty of folk costumes.
2) I lost my kanafasku … That's what we called our exhibition of folk skirts, from ordinary, work, to festive, ceremonial ones. From ordinary materials, linen, to wool, brocade, velvet, monochrome, embroidered by hand or machine. We will be happy if our exhibition will be an inspiration for you when purchasing a new kanafasku or (isn't that right!?) when losing this part of the costume.
The Children's Cimbalom Music Group, led by Pavel Varmuža, will perform in a short cultural program.
We are a four-member vocal group that likes to sing in many genres. We deal with folk, pop, folk songs, gospel and many others. We are genre-adaptable and like to learn new things. We love to create harmony and complement each other. Our voices are all completely different and that is why we can sing in different styles, but it also allows us to create a unique sound ensemble that contains different vocal colors. You can hear us especially at weddings during ceremonies, but also as background music in cafes, at private events and celebrations. Our main feature is the strong friendship that has kept us together for over ten years. About a year ago, we were invited to a big concert, as the opening band for the band Šroti. We invited our friends to such an event - great musicians, with whom we will also perform at the concert in Svatobořice-Mistřín. 4Band will consist of: Martin Novák on piano, Vojta Herka on bass, and Lukáš Uherek on drums.
From purely folk beginnings, through an unmistakable hardening of the sound and the subsequent seventeen-year collaboration with singer Jarmila Šuláková, the band has worked its way up to its current concert form, where everything has been nicely mixed and connected. The years-proven tandem of Hrachový (guitar) - Bartošík (violin) is complemented by a trio of excellent musicians - guitarist Vítek Rokyta, bassist Radek Postava and drummer Rosťa Koplík. He entertains fans all over the country with his unique and original expression. Over the course of 40 years, he has recorded more than nineteen albums. In 2024, Fleret enters its 41st season with a repertoire of completely new, but also old, proven hits, with many songs already popular.
The Na2fáze music group has been operating in the light of the music scene since 2006. It has played hundreds of events of all kinds. Summer nights, feasts, city celebrations and festivals, balls, weddings, birthdays and corporate parties. The list is long and, most importantly, endless. The composition of the band has changed over the years depending on the situation.
The festival will officially open with the national anthem performed by the Angeli Cantanti choir. Pavel Růžička will be the host throughout the evening.
Foreign ensembles will be introduced in a small trailer and tune in to the Saturday program dedicated only to foreign guests.
The performances of local ensembles, choirs and musicians draw on the rich fund of oral folk tradition recorded directly in Svatobořice and Mistřín, or the nearest surroundings. Over the centuries, we touch the materialized emotions of our ancestors and with amazement discover their expressive value for our time. Perhaps in different "scenes" and in a different "cast", but with a seriousness tested by time. Let's stop and remember things from the past, so that in the future we don't have to rediscover them covered by a veil of oblivion. The author of the program is Jiří Martykán.
Harafica is an essential element of the folklore of Hradiště and is known for its rich performances at concerts, dulcimer discussions and other cultural events. The ensemble presents itself as an independent musical ensemble. It also collaborates with renowned soloists and other musical ensembles, such as the Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra Ostrava, Hradišťan, VÚS Ondráš or the SĽUK orchestra from Bratislava.
We are a young band whose members come from five municipalities in three ethnographic regions, namely the Hanácký slovácko region, Podluží and Kyjovsko. These are all regions of excellent wine, beautiful costumes, and enchanting music, which we are happy to prove to you. Playing is above all fun and joy for us. We then try to transfer our enthusiasm and enthusiasm to every event we play at. We have a wide repertoire with which we are happy to fulfill your musical wishes - we play folklore and modern music.

The first mention of this band dates back to 1982, when young musicians from Milotice decided to establish their own brass band. They continued the tradition of this genre in Milotice. Until then, Bohumil Zbořil's band had been very important here. Miločanka itself has been giving joy to listeners for almost thirty years. During that time, it has recorded several CDs, television programs and has given concerts abroad several times. However, its active activity stopped in 2012. In 2016, several local musicians began to meet and play on various occasions in the village. Together, they gave the impetus for the revival of Miločanka. A group of musicians around Pavel Ingr - today's band manager, was responsible for the fact that brass music is active in Milotice again. Two years later, trumpeter Kryštof Neduchal became the bandleader, with whom several new members came to Miločanka, who rejuvenated the collective.
The main celebrant of the Holy Mass will be the Apostolic Nuncio in the Czech Republic, Archbishop Jude Thaddeus Okolo. The concelebrants will be Fr. Bedřich Horák, Fr. Josef Lambor. The solemn Mass is held on the 30th anniversary of the consecration of the Orel Unity premises. The South Moravian Governor Mgr Jan Grolich, the mayor of Orel Stanislav Juránek and other important officials of the Orel organization are invited as guests.
The Mistřínanka brass band was founded in 1967 by bandleader Antonín Pavluš. Thanks to its high-quality musician cast, great enthusiasm and approach, the band quickly gained growing popularity and wide audience attention in Czechoslovakia and abroad. At the beginning of its musical era in 1975, it received the highest musical award - the winner of the brass band competition in Czechoslovakia "O Zlatá křídlovku". After this great success, interest in Mistřínanka constantly grew and ranked it among the most sought-after brass bands in Czechoslovakia. It established extensive cooperation with a major music agency and publishing house in the country, the Prague Pragokoncert, which not only arranged its foreign tours, but also nominated it in 1993 for the World Brass Band Championship in Hettlingen, Switzerland, where it won the highest award - 1st place. During its fifty years of successful activity, the band has played more than 4,000 performances on various occasions - festivals, concerts, dance parties, social events, television and radio appearances, where it has won countless awards. It has spread the joy of music not only at home but also abroad. With Moravian melodies, it has traveled to almost all European countries, and has also played its concerts in the USA.
The foreign ensembles performing with you are saying goodbye.
The Brno Radio Orchestra of Folk Instruments, also abbreviated as BROLN, is a folklore music group that operated in the Brno studio of the Czechoslovak Radio, and after its restoration, it now operates there under the patronage of the Czech Radio. It is a musical ensemble that was founded in early 1952 and its program was focused on folk music, especially Moravian music. The orchestra made its first radio recording in February 1952. The basic artistic goal of the orchestra was the tasteful interpretation of folk music, both folk songs and instrumental works. The band was formed by the union of three original folklore ensembles originally from the Slovácko, Valašsko and Haná.
The festival program ends, farewell to the performers, festival guests, thanks. Luboš Tobolka accompanies the speech.
The band, which was founded in 2003 in Bratislava, is a world music group representing Slovak folk music in a modern form. The band consists of musicians with many years of experience in the interpretation of folk music as well as other genres. When creating the world music repertoire, the group is mainly inspired by Slovak traditional music. The musicians combine authentic tunes with some elements from other musical genres – blues, jazz, Balkan and Slavic folklore. Their live production is dynamic, varied and interpretatively impressive.
