In 2000, the ensemble Jiskra 1958 began its activities. It is composed of former members of the Song and Dance Ensemble Jiskra from Plzeň — musicians, singers, and dancers who had performed with Jiskra for many years and decided to revive their active involvement. The ensemble performs folk dances and songs from southwestern Bohemia (the Plzeň, Žinkovy, and Chodsko regions), uniquely emphasizing and presenting them with the aim of entertaining both themselves and their audience. Since 2016, the ensemble has been organizationally part of TJ Sokol Valcha Plzeň.

Ensemble Leader: Jana Bísková
