Welcome to the website of the Moravian-Silesian Sinfonietta, a symphony orchestra that launched its 15th concert season, 2025/2026, last year.

The orchestra was founded in 2011 as an orchestral academy in the village of Řepiště near Frýdek-Místek. Its mission is to educate musicians in a symphonic setting and involve them in exceptional projects. The ensemble also includes music school teachers and their talented students, who develop artistically alongside their mentors. The orchestra collaborates with prominent conductors, soloists, dozens of opera singers, and popular singers and instrumentalists. Throughout its history, the ensemble has performed with many choirs and vocalists.

In 2013, the orchestra recorded a flash mob at the Forum Nová Karolina shopping center, and a year later, Czech Television filmed a documentary about it.

In 2017, it accepted an invitation to perform at a gala concert marking the 750th anniversary of the founding of the town of Paskov. In 2019, it accompanied Tereza Mašková at the Moravian-Silesian Region’s Athlete of the Year event in the Gong multifunctional hall in Dolní Vítkovice, and in the same year it collaborated with DJ Adams. In 2023, together with Adam Uličný, he organized a benefit concert featuring film and popular music to support the Children’s Home in Řepiště.

Through its original project “Talent Blooms in Spring,” the orchestra nurtures the talents of students at elementary arts schools in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

To mark his anniversary on May 17 and 18, 2026, he performed Gustav Mahler’s monumental Symphony No. 8 in E-flat major at Trojhalí Karolina, accompanied by his guests.
