Stříbrňanka Performs In La Grange Sunday

Stříbrňanka is a band from southern Moravia, consisting of professional and amateur, young, dynamic musicians. The band has its typical, unmistakable sound, playing a wide repertoire – Moravian and Czech folk music, concert, solo, and dance compositions. Stříbrňanka’s repertoire is based almost exclusively on its own compositions and pieces written specifically for this band. They collaborate with many authors of brass music, but in recent years, most of the compositions are written by the members themselves – including original polkas and waltzes, as well as arrangements of solo pieces. The band has a rich history. It was established in a small village beneath Buchlov Castle – Stříbrnice in 1970 and has been performing on festival stages, social events, dances, balls, and concerts, including abroad, ever since. During this time, they have released over 30 CDs, tapes, and DVDs. One of the first recordings of this band is Zahrada Moravy, whose title song has become almost a small anthem. Foreign listeners have especially appreciated the orchestral compositions, of which there are also a considerable number in their repertoire.
