The performances of the Kyjov Moravian Ensemble can be arranged according to the needs and wishes of the host. The repertoire consists of large concert programs with a full cast of musicians, dance ensembles and choirs, but also small forms of dance and music performances to diversify social events or full-length dance entertainment an additional program.
The programs of the Kyjov Moravian Ensemble are presented by all its components, either in separate entries or in routines built on their interplay and mutual
complementation. The dance ensemble, members of the male and female choirs and soloists of all groups perform to the musical accompaniment of a cymbalom band.
The ensemble draws on its own creative background when creating its repertoire. Our legacy also includes choreographies by Jan Loutchan (e.g. Kyjovská and
Nětčická skočná, Mlynářská, Řemesla, Slámkový), which we continuously use according to dramaturgical needs, even though they are not currently in use. A
significant part of the repertoire was created from the close cooperation of the former director of the ensemble, Milan Pokorák (choreography) and Jiří Petrů (arrangement and conducting of cymbalom band). In recent years, we have been preparing completely new choreographies directed by the current leaders, in close cooperation with CM Repetuša and CM Širúch.
