Wow. What a wonderful festival we experienced in your beautiful city.

The term "International Youth Music Festival" was really what we enjoyed.

Choirs from all parts of the globe enjoyed each other's culture and music styles and we really made lovely new friends.

What we especially enjoyed was the various historic venues in Bratislava so expertly designed with beautiful acoustics, and impressive interior and exterior sights.

A special mention is your perfect organisation to ensure the festival was well balanced and each group new exactly when and where they had to perform, with exceptional guidance from your team.

From the opening concert to the final results on the square, every event is still clear in my head and will stay with me for a long time.

The jury was well and truly professional, and we found their results to have been fair and of great musical knowledge.

The Cantabile Mixed Choir had an unforgettable experience at the 15th Bratislava Summer Music Festival. From the very beginning to the end, the festival was organised with exceptional care, professionalism and attention to every detail. The comfortable accommodation provided us with a peaceful rest after each performance, allowing us to focus entirely on the joy of singing. It was a great honour to perform in such beautiful historical venues with outstanding acoustics as St. Martin's Cathedral, the Mirror Hall of the Primate's Palace, Klarisky Music Hall and the Jesuit Church.

One of the highlights for our choir was the opportunity to perform with Ladislav Kaprinay, who kindly accompanied us on the piano. As the Chorus Master of the Bratislava Opera, his inspiring and energetic piano playing truly carried us along and made our performance even more memorable.

We are especially grateful for the Hungarian-language guided tour, which helped us discover the history and beauty of Bratislava even more deeply. It was inspiring to meet choirs from different countries and to experience that music truly is our common language. We wholeheartedly recommend this festival to every choir and sincerely hope it will continue to bring choral communities together for many years to come.

Thank you very much for all the satisfaction, inspiration and excitement we have taken during the Bratislava Cantat II. All our members shared their impressions of the high quality, strict organization and professionalism of this extraordinary musical event.

We must admit that everything was amazing - places where we sing, the overall atmosphere,  culture exchange, and last but not least - great organisation from the very beginning to the end. We had enough time for rehearsals and testing, we knew when doing what in every moment, everything was punctual and that helped our choir feeling safe and calm during those four days. And Tereza was absolutely amazing - kind and supportive all the time no matter if we have question or need something. Special greetings to her because we are absolutely convinced her contribution also played a key role for the success of the event.

We appreciate every part of that amazing musical journey. It was a real privilege to be part of it. From all our choir members - BIG THANK YOU!

Warm greetings,
FF Mihail Bukureshtliev, BULGARIA

Thank you for your invitation to the festival and competition in this beautiful city.  It was a great and joyful experience for all of us.The concert venues were wonderful.The  organization of the whole competition was perfect! Amadeus Choir, Hungary, Slovakia Cantat 2023

Milý pane docente, chtěla bych Vám touto cestou ještě jednou velmi poděkovat. Organizace tak obrovského festivalu musí být tak náročná, že si to snad nikdo jiný nedokáže představit, pokud se do toho člověk nezapojí sám. Vy jste to měli zorganizované prostě špičkově. Předsoutěžní koncerty v bratislavských chrámech byly úžasné..., možnost mít akusticou zkoušku bylo moc fajn. A celý soutěžní den, i když pro všechny hodně náročný, byl prostě skvělý. Vaše hostesky byly velice milé, ochotné, snažily se vyhovět každému požadavku, pokud to bylo jen trochu možné.....

 Slova díků jsou snad malým vyvážením toho, co jste do celé přípravy vložili a jaké zázemí jste pro nás vytvořili. Tolik starostí, organizování a stále ochota a milý úsměv na tváři. Hluboké poděkování všem, ale především Vám pane docente a Klárko. Přeji Vám ať se vám daří v uskutečňování dalších festivalů, které vás čekají a ještě jednou VELKÉ DÍKY.  

S přáním hezkých májových dnů  

Jana Adamusová PS Adijamus,

..... Ze srdce bych Vám chtěl poděkovat za pozvání a srdečné přijetí u Vás v Bratislavě! Byl to pro celý náš sbor krásný a silný zážitek a zlaté pásmo ze soutěže toto vše jen podtrhlo! Děkuji také za dokonalou organizaci ...

Za sbor Cantate, Patrik Buchta, dirigent, Slovakia cantat 2023

Greetings from the Philippines! Thank you BMA for the wonderful hosting of the festival. It was really a great experience for our daughter. Congratulations!

Vážený pane Kolena a paní Kniezová,

za sbor Gloria Brunensis bychom Vám chtěly moc poděkovat za vydařený víkend. Vše bylo naplánováno na jedničku a my si odvezly nejen dvě ocenění, ale hlavně spoustu krásných vzpomínek. Budeme se těšit na budoucí ročníky.

Dear Monika!
Thank you very much for the many experiences and the kind welcome.
We had a lot of fun, It was a very nice memory for us.


   

Thank You very much for beautiful days in Bratislava! 

Dear Milan and Monika.

It was my pleasure to work with such fantastic Jury at your Festival. Thank you again for invitation and such perfect organisation and friendly atmosphere!

Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! for You and your families ;)

We are very pleased and gratified that our choir's performance tour was an unmitigated success. Artistically, logistically, culturally, educationally, body & soul - it all went really well. Everybody had wonderful experiences, that will stay with us for the rest of our lives - indelibly etched in our brains! In all of this you played an enormously important role - without you things would not have happened the way it did - that is the utter truth . The words "thank you" sound inadequate, but that is actually all there is to say - a sincere Thank You very, very much - from me, and each and everyone in the choir group.

Most of 2020 lies ahead for our choir, but also for you and all your activities. We would like to extend hearty words of good wishes for you personally, as well as for all who work with you, and your family.

Thank you once again, and may we repeat what we did last year somewhere in the near future!

Ďakujeme veľmi pekne. Účasť na takomto festivale je pre nás niečo, čo nevieme vypovedať slovami. Mali sme možnosť počuť vynikajúce súbory, úroveň ktorých nikdy nedosiahneme a preto si nesmierne vážime, že sme mohli byť medzi nimi. Ešte raz srdečná vďaka. 

Aj ja ďakujem, že sme napriek tomu, že sme taký maličký zborík, mohli byť súčasťou veľkého medzinárodného podujatia v takomto formáte.

Deti to naozaj nadchlo a dúfam, inšpirovalo.

Pekné letné dni!

Drazí Milane, Moniko a všichni další organizátoři,

obrovské díky za krásné zážitky a mimořádně přátelskou atmosféru, která na nás dýchala po celý čas festivalu.

Pro moje studentky to byla nesmírně cenná zkušenost být součástí tak nádherného podujetí a všichni jsme odjížděli s krásnými pocity domů.

Přejeme Vám mnoho sil a elánu do Vašich dalších sborových aktivit a věřím, že se opět setkáme.

I can guarantee you that from our choir's point of view everything was impeccably organised. Congratulations! They loved their own singing experiences , and the opportunities to hear other first class choirs. Veronika, our Greater, was a huge asset, and the experience with Cantus unforgettable.  Maria was a great federator. And the city guides gave us some intersting feedback on the history of your lovely city.

Our choir thanks you most sincerely for all the effort you put into this, and personally I appreciated your unfailing cooperation.

Thank you, Bratislava Music Agency, for welcoming and hosting our children so warmly in your beautiful city! It was a great experience! Ďakujem velmi pekne, Slovakia! Greetings from Ljubljana, Slovenia!

In my role as President of the Parisian Choir, Flori Canti, acting on behalf of the choir committee, conductor, pianist and choristers, I wish to thank you for having our choir take part in your April 2019 Cantat.  All concerned were delighted to contribute to its success.  Everyone also enjoyed hearing wonderful singing from excellent transnational choirs.

Thanks to you and Monika for the impeccable organisation. It was flawless (hotel accommodation,rehearsal room, meals, transport, mobility within the city, excellent Greater, Veronika, and first class city guides).

Everyone was also thrilled with the opportunity to sing together with Cantus and to have had the interesting experience of sharing our conductors and musical scores.  The impromptu festive moment Cantus organised in the spirit of friendship was also an unforgettable moment for all, for which we thank them most sincerely, and in particular, Maria, who worked so diligently on this plan.

What more can I say?  It was a happy musical and human adventure for all of us which will live for long in our memories.

Thank you a lot for all organisation, for beautiful Festival, for opportunity to be in Bratislava and to sing in beautiful concert halls, for very interesting excursions!! Everything was beautiful, our children are so glad and happy and it is the main!!!!! Nobody wanted to go home))

Thank you a lot and for all again and again!

Milý Milan, milé kolegyne a kolegovia zo štábu,

v mene speváckeho zboru CANTUS pekne ďakujeme za možnosť zúčastniť sa na festivale. Obdivujeme organizátorov za zvládnutie náročného, časovo i emočne nabitého podujatia, pri ktorom všetko sprevádzala čulá srdečná pozitívna atmosféra. Do ďalšej práce prajeme veľa vytrvalosti a chuti. Ešte raz srdečná vďaka.

I would like to thank you for inviting me to your marvelous Festival in Bratislava! I didn’t stop to spreading the news among my Bulgarian colleagues.

Be proud of your job!

Ďakujeme veľmi pekne, že ste nám umožnili zúčastniť sa tohto festivalu. Bolo pre nás veľkou cťou, vystúpiť na takomto podujatí.

Milí priatelia, poďakovanie patrí Vám, agentúre, pánovi Kolenovi, že nás povzbudil a dodal odvahu. Cítili sme sa na festivale veľmi dobre, príjemne a zostávajú nám krásne spomienky.

We would like to ​thank you for the opportunities to be participated in this prestigious festival. We will take the appreciation we get from the festival as motivation to our further steps in developing angklung as Indonesian traditional instrument and also in promoting angklung as one of the world's heritage.

Ešte raz sa Vám v mene nášho zboru chcem poďakovať za perfektne zorganizované podujatie, za príjemnú atmosféru, za úsilie a námahu, ktorú ste do toho vložili a v neposlednom rade za príležitosť vystupovať, bez ktorej by zbory dlho neprežili.  Prajem Vám veľa úspešných podujatí a tešíme sa na ďalšie stretnutie.

On behalf of the choir ELTE Pro Musica I would like to thank you very much the wonderful weekend in Namestovo. That was for me the third time when I could participated in a competition organised by Bratislava Music Agency- second time in Namestovo. When I was there in the first time with my female Choir Musica Nostra, I immediately felt that it is more then a competition- it is about love music, love together, and sing to the Holy God. There is no rival, everybody is winner, because we had the possibility to sing in a wonderful church, in very good acustic, we could listen to each other, we could be happy with the special repertoire of various choirs from many countries. Especially  we appreciated, that every choir sang at the Holy Mass and at the Gala concert. So, we think that  nobody felt ignored. The whole organiser team was always polite, patient and kind. Many thanks for all of this.
Accomodation and food was excellent too.
Dear friends, so we had again a wonderful eperience with you! We were happy with the result, and were happy, that we could be together with so many excellent choirs, especially like the Riga chorus.They performed really on very high level!
Hereby I send you all warm greetings, and wish you many sucsess to your work!
God bless you!

Dobrý deň, ďakujem za krásne slová, ktorými ste nás obdarili. Predovšetkým my sa musíme poďakovať za pozvanie na tak nádherné podujatie. Ani vo sne by ma nebolo napadlo, že s naším súborom sa zúčastníme na takomto festivale a že v takej konkurencii na svetovej úrovni sa umiestnime v bronzovom pásme. Budú to pre nás nezabudnuteľné zážitky a spomienky. Srdečná vďaka za všetko.

Mali sme skvelý zážitok. Veľmi pekne ďakujeme za všetko a určite sa na nejaký festival ešte vrátime :)

We are all full of great impressions of Bratislava and competition. First of all thank you for the hotel which you gave us - it was in the very city center and gave us freedom to explore old town like never before. Also thank you very very much for meeting with all our requests, of which there were many from our side. Please thank also Mr Kolena for great experience of singing in holly mass with other choirs - it was new experience for most of us and we liked it very much. Please thank also Monika who was our sheppard during whole stay. I probably forgot a million little things that made our stay in Bratislava great, so thank you for those as well.

We're already at home..We cannot find words to express mind after the festival. It was a good experience for everyone. We cannot stop share our feelings with friends and colleagues.
