The Christmas Holidays represent a kind of fixed point in the cycle of life, to which each subsequent year, full of new uncertainties, surprises and challenges, will surely result again. It is a time when we try to find more time for our loved ones, for rest, for what brings us joy and peace. Not only silence, self-absorption, but also beautiful things that we like and know well, all of which can bring us the desired peace. Therefore, even traditional carols and popular compositions by authors composing across styles have their inseparable place during the Christmas holidays.
The Bratislava Boys' Choir, led by conductor, founder and manager Magdaléna Rovňáková, performs concerts at home and abroad and also records for television and film. Rastislav Štúr regularly appears on the stage of the Slovak Philharmonic. The highlight of the evening will be the performance of the young flutist Ajna Marosz, who recently charmed even Placido Domingo in the Virtuosos V4+ talent competition.
