Slovenia

Children's choir of Velenje music school was founded more than 30 years ago. Since 1987 its conductor is Manja Gošnik Vovk. The choir consists of children aged 6 to 11 years, most of them are pupils of Velenje Music School. Since they are mostly pianists and guitarists, the choir singing is one of the rare opportunities to experience making music in a group. After passing they age limit, children can continue to enjoy choir singing in a school's youth choir and later in the choir of local high school center. Children's choir of Velenje music school is one of the top national choirs in their category practicly since its beginnings. Since 1994 the choir won ten golden awards (last one in 2016) and was six times proclamated as the best children's choir at the Slovene national children's and youth choirs competition in Zagorje. On international level choir won four golden awards. As a result of a long and hard work the choir released CDs: »Veseli otrok« ('Happy child'), Pisana račka (»Painted duck«), »Z igro v čarobni svet glasbe« (»With the game to the magical world of music«).
