The Texas Czech Heritage and Cultural Center (TCHCC) hosted a special evening concert of beautiful Czech music at the Sanford Schmid Amphitheater in La Grange on Friday, Sept. 26. Mladá Muzika Šardice, a youth music ensemble from Kyjov in the southern Moravian region of the Czech Republic, entertained the crowd with their lively brass music. They were joined by a dulcimer band, and the two groups traded sets throughout the evening. Before the performance, La Grange Mayor Jan Dockery read a proclamation recognizing La Grange native and reigning Miss U.S. Czech-Slovak Queen Madelyn Karstedt. They were joined on stage by Karstedt’s sister, Lille Karstedt, the Texas Czech-Slovak Princess.
TCHCC’s Jennifer Lane also read a proclamation from County Judge Dan Mueller recognizing Madelyn Karstedt for her accomplishments.
