The folklore group Postřekov

|
The organisational director of the group is Radek Zuber. The dancer Petr Buršík and the singer/dancer Antonín Kuželka cooperate together as the artistic directors. As for the musical aspect, all the members of the music band dispose of the leadership giving appropriate hints and advice. Except for the solo singers and the music band, the important part of the group consists of about fifteen pairs of dancers. The typical composition of the shows are composed of interluded songs with combination of the young and the old dancers and singers while performing the particular songs. The themes of the performance include various folk customs, activities corresponding to important (even religious) seasons, and even the tails and habits of the time, e.g. wedding ceremony, Christmas carols, and even "bugaboos".
The music band "Sekáči" is working under the leadership of the bagpipe player Richard Vísner since 2000. The following skilled players feature the band: Roman Kalous on Es clarinet, Jan Hrbáček on Bb clarinet, Pavel Ježek on violins, and Tomáš Kulhánek on contrabass. As for the goals of the band, it is to mention the refreshing of the original cast (a small country band - bagpipe, violins, and es clarinet), and arrangements in quasi-polyphonic forms which were much more common earlier.
