About us

Ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome to the website of the Moravian-Silesian Sinfonietta, a symphony orchestra that open its 16th concert season, 2026/2027, this 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 teachers from the elementary arts school and their talented students, who develop artistically alongside their mentors. The orchestra collaborates with renowned 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 filmed a flash mob at the Forum Nová Karolina shopping center, and a year later, Czech Television produced a documentary about it.

In 2017, orchestra accepted an invitation to perform at a gala concert marking the 750th anniversary of the founding of the town of Paskov. In 2019, orchestra accompanied Tereza Mašková at the Moravian-Silesian Region’s “Athlete of the Year” event in the Gong Multifunctional Auditorium in Dolní Vítkovice, and that same year orchestra collaborated with DJ Adams. In 2023, together with Adam Uličný, they 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 its anniversary on May 17 and 18, 2026, the orchestra, together with guest artists, performed Gustav Mahler’s monumental Symphony No. 8 in E-flat major at Trojhalí Karolina.
