About

Moravský folklórní soubor Ševčík is one of the oldest active folk ensembles in the North Moravian region, founded on 21 May 1950 as a youth collective and renamed after Ladislav Ševčík nine months later. Based at the Akord cultural centre in Ostrava-Zábřeh, the ensemble focuses on dances, songs and folk customs from the Moravian Wallachia region, particularly its southern part. Performances are accompanied by the cimbalom band Úsměv; over its history the ensemble has toured Europe and overseas, representing the Czech Republic at an international festival in Brazil in 2018.
