it is a great honour for us to invite you on behalf of the sons of Jaromir Vejvoda, the world-known composer of wind music and the author of the most famous polka of the world "Skoda lasky" (Beer Barrel Polka) to the 17th anniversary year of the festival "Vejvoda's Zbraslav".
The festival will take place in the birthplace of Jaromir Vejvoda - in Zbraslav (part of Prague) from 28th September to 30th September 2012.
The accredited organiser of the festival is the Organisational and Festival Agency or-fea Prague in cooperation with Zbraslav Council. Orchestras from the whole world with up to 25 players (incl. conductor) without age limit which will fulfil the conditions of the participation (orchestras with majorette groups are welcome) can participate in the festival.
As a part of the festival there is a competition, which is open for small wind bands. There is a compulsory composition for the competition. The competition will be evaluated by three members of a professional jury appraising the interpretation of the compulsory composition. Each of the participating orchestras will receive a participation certificate. The order of the competition will be set by the organisers.
The festival is held under the auspices of the City of Prague.
The melody of the song "Skoda lasky" is well-known all over the world. We can hear it on
the radios, at concerts, in films, many of us are able to play it on various musical instruments
or at least to sing it. There are not many compositions that have settled down in hearts of
millions of people and became so popular in many countries of the world that they regard
them as their own. Only few songs have got so many language versions and names.
Despite its fame or perhaps because of it, the origin of the composition remains a mystery. Do you know where the song came into existence and who is its author? The answer to these questions can be given by our educational and entertaining programme Discover the origin of the song "The Beer Barrel Polka".
The programme is prepared for groups, for fans of wind music as well as musicians.
