The folklore summer in the Czech Republic is usually rich in interesting programmes and festivals, many of which have won fame even beyond the country’s borders, and have become a matter of prestige for domestic and foreign ensembles as well as visitors. Pride of place among domestic summer folklore events is taken by a regional festival called the Moravian Slovakia Year which is held in the picturesque town of Kyjov in Moravian Slovakia.

Today's Prague Symphony Orchestra was founded in the autumn of 1934 by the conductor and musical organizer Rudolf Pekárek. He defined the new ensemble's fields of activity with the words Film-Opera-Koncert, which as the abbreviation FOK became part of the orchestra's title. By recording music for the majority of Czech films in the 1930s and performing regularly in live broadcasts of Czechoslovak Radio the FOK Orchestra made a name for itself and its economic existence was assured.
