One of the highlights of the previous seasons was a concert with Dmitrij Hvorostovski in Bratislava conducted by Constantine Orbelian. Currently the choir is led by the young and ambitious conductor, Petra Torkošová. Since its establishment and over its 55 years of existence, Technik has been studying and interpreting many masterpieces of both Slovak and foreign composers and several concerts have been organized in cooperation with Slovak Philharmonic.
