Sorry this part has no English translation

Pünktlich zu Saisonbeginn und mit neuer CD im Gepäck präsentiert das österreichisch-slovakisch-tschechische Musikkollektiv ihr neues Programm "The Great Morovian Songbook". Jodler, Polkas, Balladen, Walzer, Gschtanzln und Romalieder, heftig bearbeitet von Bernhard Wiesinger und Gerald Schuller. Die Ethno Jazz Kapelle um Frontfrau Andrea Profant ist seit dem letzten Mal auf Big Band Größe angewachsen, dank der Zusammenarbeit mit einem der versiertesten Ensembles für authentische böhmisch-mährische Musik: "Kreuz & Quer XL" aus dem fernen Laa/Thaya werden die Bühne zahlreich bevölkern und ihren typisch singenden Blechklang zum musikalischen Gesamtpaket beisteuern. Es kann turbulent werden! (Geri Schuller)

Miss Moravia – World Music from Central Europe

The Members of the “Miss Moravia” – music collective were all born and raised in Austria’s „Weinviertel“, Moravia and western Slovakia. Together they are about to take their own musical traditions to the next level.
Singer, Andrea Profant and her 7 piece band are engaged in something very special: A passionate 21st century love affair with Folk Music. If you expect a little more than sober traditionalism – look no further. “Miss Moravia” is all about music that doesn’t linger between extremes proving to be either shamelessly sentimental or brutishly ecstatic.
Andrea Profant seduces, laughs and cries in four languages and takes you right to the banks of river Morava – transforming from farmgirl to gypsy woman to diva along the way. She’s supported by an orchestra that switches from country, dance to big band in the blink of an eye with wit, sincerity and a persuasiveness that makes you believe those old songs never grooved another way.
Sometimes the most exciting world music happens just outside your window – here’s the band to prove it.
