The service you provided was second to none and was one of the most 'luxurious' choir tours I have been on. The hotel was excellent and we were very happy with the performing venues. We particularly enjoyed singing in the magnificent acoustic of St Salvator's church, a special treat as we are normally used to performing in a small church. Stacy was extremely knowledgeable and friendly as a guide and liaison and the boat cruise was a great time for us all to sit together and celebrate the successful tour. Many thanks again, Tristan, St. Bartholomews Church Choir, Dublin, Ireland Bonjour Stanislav, Nous voilà rentrée en Suisse, merci beaucoup pour l'organisation de notre séjour à Prague.

Mirka Cejka, KorEssa, Norway, December 2010 Life has got back to normal after the Advent in Prague and Christmas in Budapest. I am writing to you to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay in Prague. We had a wonderful time there. We enjoyed the busy downtown streets of Prague, the beautiful lights, the tasteful decorations of the squares and streets and of course the opportunity for singing a lot. The concert in the church was a special event for us, this was the second time we had performed the mass and it caused us a lot of pleasure. Also, singing together with the other choirs in the church was a nice event. So, thank you for organising this event, I think it is a nice tradition and should be continued! I have seen the pictures on the webpage, you were really quick!!!Éva Sándor, Musica Ludens, Hungary Heute möchte ich mich im Namen aller Frauen ganz herzlich für die tolle Organisation zum Adventstreffen bedanken. Es hat alles super geklappt. Die Moldau-fahrt und auch das Spezialitäten-essen waren super toll!! Vielen Dank für die Empfehlung. Unser Chor hatte vor Weihnachten ja noch einige Auftritte. Das Weihnachtskonzert am 3.Advent im Schloss war auch sehr gelungen. Für uns war es ein kleiner Höhepunkt, denn es war unser 15. Advents-Singen. Die tollste Sache überhaupt, war aber für den ganzen Chor das Singen in Prag.Ich kann es gar nicht richtig beschreiben, aber das Singen mit allen Chören war für uns mit Gänse-haut verbunden. Vielen, vielen Dank noch einmal für die Einladung. Bestellen sie bitte PAWEL von uns einen lieben Gruß, er hat seine Sache toll gemacht. Ganz liebe Grüße aus Meyenburg von Rita Pilgrim, Frauenchor Meyenburg, Deutschland Надеюсь трудные фестивальные дни закончились ,и я могу на несколько минут вас отвлечь. Хочу выразить вам огромную благодарность от моего хора и от меня лично за чудесные впечатления которые вы нам подарили.

С уважением Ольга Косибород, Gofman Choir + Choir MGPI /Moskovskij gumanitarnyj pedagogiceskij institut/ Hola: Un día por otro se me está pasando el tiempo sin daros las gracias por lo bien que nos lo habéis hecho pasar. Todo resultó estupendamente. Y la organización muy buena. Las guías fueron cariñosas, pacientes y extraordinarias. De verdad.

Our guide, Jana, was a very qualified and nice person, and she was very good and responsible to take care of us. The hotel was brilliant, too. Theatre was a very good and funny experience - the same for the boattrip. The acustic in St. Salvator is fantastic and we have a very good feeling for the quality of our concert. WE could suggest that at the meeting for all the choirs it would be nice if all choirs had an hour drinking coffee and talking to each other. Here we might get connections for exchanges between choirs. Just an idea to you - a bit inspiration. I hope you will have a Nice Christmas and A Happy New Year.

Life has got back to normal after the Advent in Prague and Christmas in Budapest. I am writing to you to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay in Prague. We had a wonderful time there. We enjoyed the busy downtown streets of Prague, the beautiful lights, the tasteful decorations of the squares and streets and of course the opportunity for singing a lot. The concert in the church was a special event for us, this was the second time we had performed the mass and it caused us a lot of pleasure. Also, singing together with the other choirs in the church was a nice event. So, thank you for organising this event, I think it is a nice tradition and should be continued! I have seen the pictures on the webpage, you were really quick!!!Éva Sándor, Musica Ludens, Hungary

Heute möchte ich mich im Namen aller Frauen ganz herzlich für die tolle Organisation zum Adventstreffen bedanken. Es hat alles super geklappt. Die Moldau-fahrt und auch das Spezialitäten-essen waren super toll!! Vielen Dank für die Empfehlung. Unser Chor hatte vor Weihnachten ja noch einige Auftritte. Das Weihnachtskonzert am 3.Advent im Schloss war auch sehr gelungen. Für uns war es ein kleiner Höhepunkt, denn es war unser 15. Advents-Singen. Die tollste Sache überhaupt, war aber für den ganzen Chor das Singen in Prag.Ich kann es gar nicht richtig beschreiben, aber das Singen mit allen Chören war für uns mit Gänse-haut verbunden. Vielen, vielen Dank noch einmal für die Einladung. Bestellen sie bitte PAWEL von uns einen lieben Gruß, er hat seine Sache toll gemacht. Ganz liebe Grüße aus Meyenburg von Rita Pilgrim, Frauenchor Meyenburg, Deutschland

Надеюсь трудные фестивальные дни закончились ,и я могу на несколько минут вас отвлечь.

Hola: Un día por otro se me está pasando el tiempo sin daros las gracias por lo bien que nos lo habéis hecho pasar. Todo resultó estupendamente. Y la organización muy buena. Las guías fueron cariñosas, pacientes y extraordinarias. De verdad. La ciudad preciosa y lo que nos ha ocurrido es que como se nos ha hecho poco tiempo el de estancia allí, pues muchos de nosotros volveremos en la primavera para poder disfrutar de Praga y sus alrededores con más tiempo.Recibe un abrazo muy fuerte de la Coral San Antonio de Iralabarri y de mi misma.Maite Martinez

Dear Boris,We returned from Prague full of pleasant memories for which we are deeply grateful to all organizers of the festival.Best regards Eva Forika, Corul Dorulet Al Dascalilor de la Scoala Lucian Blaga Din Ocna Mures, Romania

Dear Boris We want to thank you for the brilliant stay in Prague. Our guide, Jana, was a very qualified and nice person, and she was very good and responsible to take care of us. The hotel was brilliant, too. Theatre was a very good and funny experience - the same for the boattrip. The acustic in St. Salvator is fantastic and we have a very good feeling for the quality of our concert. WE could suggest that at the meeting for all the choirs it would be nice if all choirs had an hour drinking coffee and talking to each other. Here we might get connections for exchanges between choirs. Just an idea to you - a bit inspiration. I hope you will have a Nice Christmas and A Happy New Year. Give my best regards to the staff behind The Advent Choral Festival. I hope Nevertheless will return next December. Lise- Lotte Brix Nevertheless

Die Teilnahme am Adventsfestival und der Aufenthalt in Prag waren für unseren Chor ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis. Vielen Dank für die Einladung und für Ihr Engagement. Herzliche Grüße und vielen Dank auch an unsere Reisebegleiterin, die uns trotz der Kürze der Zeit zu vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten der goldenen Stadt Prag geführt hat. Auf dem beigefügten Bild sehen Sie unseren Chor (in Winterkleidung) vor einem Seitenportal, des St. Veit Domes. Das Magnificat von Cesar Cui haben wir inzwischen mit dem ganzen Chor und mit gutem Erfolg auch bei einem Adventskonzert in Bensheim aufgeführt. Im Namen unseres Chores wünsche ich Ihnen ein schönes Weihnachtsfest und alles Gute das neue Jahr.
