Dear Jaroslav,
I´m happy to say, that everything worked out very well. I’m glad we decided to take the addittional program elements, that all the choir members liked a lot. The Jazz-boat was a real highlight – good food, best local wines and a very nice band to meet our taste. The folklore personal was nice and the performers did their best to entertain us, so another experience worthwile taking. We did like really much both castle tours, especially because of the guides, who were both extremely professional and experienced.
I think festival was professionally organised and it was easy to communicate with you. It may be in the beginning of preparation not so easy to get the answers from group members to decide about program elements, but you were patient with us and I think our communication was smooth. Festival program was interesting and rewarding. The opening concert was fun with very professional performance at the same time. I think much of the festival experience came from the chance to listen to other participants’ performance, especially the 2 outstanding Indonesian choirs. The venue was nice and acoustically also a good place to perform.
Please forward our greetings to Eva, our guardian for first 2 days. We’re grateful she took her time to be with us!

Dear ladies,
we had a wonderful time in Prague and enjoyed participating in the Praga Cantat so much! We were completely satisfied and felt warmly welcomed, especially through our lovely guide Magdalena who made it very easy for us to orientate, feel home and safe. Every detail was well-organized throughout our stay! Even our hotel was in walking distance to the National House which was perfect. Further, the great opening concert was so much fun and we were deeply impressed by the choir performing in so many languages with such a great deal of fun! Another special moment was the singing of the compulsory piece – in our case „Napadly pisne“ – with all the other participating choirs. We got to know many people from different countries and felt that winning was not the most important goal but making new friends and experiences was even more vital. Thank you again for this 100%-well-organised event!!!

Liebe Frau Koslerova,
ich möchte mich nochmal für die tolle Organisation und die wunderbare Zeit in Prag bei Ihnen bedanken. Unser Chor hat unglaubliche musikalische Momente erleben dürfen.
Unser Favorit für den Grand Prix war von Anfang an der österreichischer Chor gewesen und wir freuen uns sehr, dass sie auch gewonnen haben.
Wir hatten das Glück mit diesem Chor im gleichen Hotel zu übernachten und konnten dann noch im Hotel mit Ihnen feiern und Musik machen. Es war sehr schön. Auch die Betreung durch Frau Erika Kavkova war einfach super. Sie ist eine wunderbare Stadtführerin und Betreuerin gewesen. Vielen Dank für Alles.
Liebe Grüße aus Nürnberg
L.Dank

” BRAVO à vous pour cette organisation parfaite….. Tout s’est déroulé à merveille. L’hôtel était vraiment très bien, confortable et accueillant à souhait! Nous avons marqué les esprits, surtout au bar, où nous avons passé trois soirées tous ensemble à chanter.,,,,,
Le concours était très stressant….mais nous étions heureux et fiers de cette médaille d’argent. Nous avons donné le meilleur de nous-mêmes et l’émotion était là…
La ville maintenant, Prague, tellement magnifique. Même si nous avons visité les quartiers du château sous une neige et un vent qui n’ont cessé de tomber/souffler la journée durant le samedi. Et nous avons pu profiter de l’après-midi libre pour flâner à notre guise dans les rues. Que de beautés. Rien à redire donc. Que du bonheur, une chance incroyable pour nous de pouvoir chanter dans une salle magnifique, d’avoir eu la chance de profiter de passablement de temps libre …1000 mercis encore pour votre merveilleuse collaboration et votre souci du détail…
BRAVO to you for this perfect organisation ….. Everything went perfectly. The hotel was really good, comfortable and welcoming! We made a big impression, especially in the bar, where we spent three evenings all together singing. ,,,,,
The competition was very stressful….but we were happy and proud of the silver medal. We gave our best and the emotion was there…
Prague is so beautiful. Even if we visited the castle quarters under a snow and a wind that kept falling/blowing all day long during Saturday. And we were able to take advantage of the free afternoon to stroll around the streets as we pleased. So many beauties. Nothing to complain about. What happiness, an incredible chance for us to be able to sing in a magnificent hall, to have had the chance to enjoy a lot of free time … 1000 thanks again for your wonderful collaboration and your attention to detail…
