SLOVAKIA CANTAT 2010
srdečně Vás zdravím z Dačic. Chtěl bych Vám ještě jednou dodatečné poděkovat za vynikající organizaci festivalu "Slovakia cantat". Byli jsme po všech stránkách velmi spokojeni, jak s ubytováním, tak s jídlem a především z nádherného soutěžního prostoru, který byl pro nás akusticky velmi příjemný a inspirativní. Pro naše děvčata to byl jeden z nejhezčích soutěžních festivalů, který jsme si užili v radosti a pohodě. Rádi bychom se k Vám vrátili a proto se přihlásíme na Váš soutěžní festival adventní a vánoční hudby. Kromě soutěže a koncertů se těšíme i na Vaše a vánoční trhy a celou atmosféru vánoční Bratislavy.
S úctou Vítězslav Hergesel, Kvítek Dačice
