‘The ZUŠkárik’ children’s choir was founded at Základná umelecká škola (art school) based at Istrijská 22 in Bratislava in 2019. It was founded and is conducted by Júlia Pokludová. ‘The ZUŠkárik’ is a children’s chamber choir of about twelve members between the ages of nine and fifteen. This number varies depending on the number of the students at the Art school at a given period of time. The repertoire of the choir consists of unison and polyphonic songs accompanied by the piano. The choir performs mainly compositions by Slovak composers, M. Jašurdová, P. Cón, E. Suchoň, J. Hatrík, A. Kříž and others. They also enjoy singing pieces by Czech composers, songs in Latin and chamber music. The children’s choir regularly performs at public events organized by the art school like Open Days, Christmas concerts, educative concerts for schools, carnivals and all-school projects like the musicals Pinocchio in 2013, Medovníkový domček (The Ginger Bread House) in 2016, Studňa lásky (The Well of Love) in 2019 etc. The ZUŠkárik choir cooperates also with ‘FOR Bratislava’ brass band established by the school. Together they prepare the traditional gala evening ‘FOR Bratislava plays for Bratislava’ at the community center in Dúbravka.
