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.

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.

Votre ville, que beaucoup d’entre nous découvraient pour la première fois est incroyablement magnifique !! Merci aussi à Dana pour son accompagnement précieux. Cordiales salutations et joyeuses fêtes de Noël.

Dear Tania, I want to say many thanks to you for inviting our choir Kaasike to the adventfestival.
Thank you for organizing all our arrivals.
Happily we got to see Praha just enough to wish to come back and see some more.
Churches are lovely and sounds of them were great.
Boattrip was fun and dinner was tasty.
Women say many thanks to our guides - Marina and Natalja.
Hopefully we meet some day!
Sincerely

Dear Stanislav,
Now the dust has settled I wanted to write to say how much we enjoyed our trip to Prague. 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

Vom 24 - 26. November 2012 war der Männerchor in Prag und nahm an einem Chortreffen teil. 24 Sänger und 16 Sängerfrauen genossen die wunderschöne, vorweihnachtliche Stadt, welche durch ein ausgezeichnete Führung vorgestellt wurde. In der gotischen Kirche St. Salvador waren dann eindrucksvolle Gesänge unterschiedlicher Chöre aus Irland, England, Osttirol und der Schweiz zu hören, welche durch die exzellente Akustik wunderbar zur Geltung kamen.

Dear Alena, Thank you so much for inviting us to the Advent Choir Festival. We enjoyed the experience greatly, the Christmas markets, singing in St Salvator Church, River boat trip, the sightseeing tour of Prague. Most of all we enjoyed the hostitality of so many people and particularly our two young guides, Christina and David. They did an excellent job for us and deserve the highest praise. I would also like to thank you for your excellent organisation and for the efficient way you adapted plans to suit our needs. Thank you. You have a very beautiful city, thankfully not spoilt by fire or war like other cities in Europe. I am looking forward to returning sometime in the future. Thank you and God bless you all. Bob Allen Gloucester and District Christian Choir, December 2011

Home, sweet home :) We travelled 18 hours to get back here - the plane as well as the boat was delayed. Our memories are excellent and we gonna keep them with you on our hearts:)) Our guide Monika, she is the Sunshine! It was interesting to hear christmas carols of different coutries. Our hotel was located perfectly and they served us well. We are pleased planning another journey to Czech, with our families or friends! Hoping You happiness and joy and remembering the genuine Christmas feeling in Praque, Tarja Mikkanen, Lahti Female Choir, December 2010

Good morning, dear Tania, congratulations on the great festival! Our group was totally charmed, we have never sung in such fairy tale enviroments. All members keep on praising the decision to join the

festival. I have taken them to the roof of U Prince hotel - that literally amazed them, the atmosphere at the U Fleku pub was also fantastic. And the common singing and opera. ALL, ALL unforgetable.

Thank you very much for everything and if you ever travel to Norway, you are welcome to stay with us. 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. А от себя еще раз благодарю ,за неожиданную для меня возможность поработать с таким большим хором. Поздравляю Вас и ваших сотрудников с Рождеством и Новым годом и желаю всего самого лучшего!! 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. 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 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
