The Střezina Dance Orchestra STO–HK was founded in 2003. Since its foundation, it has been led by saxophonist Tomáš Antonín Mucha, who brought the ensemble to life with the help of his friend and fellow musician Radek Škeřík. From an original line-up of just seven members, the orchestra has gradually grown to an impressive 35 musicians. Over the years, more than 200 students from the Střezina Elementary School of the Arts have passed through the band. The orchestra’s repertoire consists primarily of popular songs in swing arrangements, as well as jazz standards, funk and rock arrangements, Latin American music, and film scores.
