Description

41st Meeting of Folk Music – Tribute to Milada Bimková Folklore afternoon, festive gala concert, and an evening full of music and dance! We invite you to 41st Meeting of Folk Music, which this year commemorates the 100th anniversary of Milada Bimková's birth – a significant ethnographer, educator, and collector of folk songs and dances. You can expect an afternoon full of folk music, singing, traditions, and gatherings. Various generations of musicians and singers will come together on one stage to showcase the diversity of Czech and Moravian folk culture. The main program will feature CM Trnka, CM Kyčera, Dudácká muzika Praštěnka, Slovácký krúžek in Prague, Malá česká muzika Jiřího Pospíšila, and Pěvecký sbor Kantár. The program will honor the legacy of Milada Bimková and her lifelong work with folk song, dance, and folklore. A repertoire inspired by the regions she focused on will also be performed – Kyjovsko, Podluží, and Uherskohradišťský Dolňáček. A significant theme will be the passing of tradition from generation to generation and the journey of folk song from its capture and preservation to today's live interpretation.
