Bratislavský detský zbor
Slovakia
Bratislava children choir was founded in 1962 at the Municipal Cultural Centre in Bratislava. Since 1967, the choir performed on stages in fifteen European countries, Japan, Canada, Africa and the USA, and has performed with the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra. Róbert Tišťan became the conductor of the choir in 2007 and the choir has managed to expand its membership and gradually regain its long-standing successful tradition since then. Every year BADZ presents itself not only to the domestic audience, but also at festivals abroad. In 2017 the choir recorded a CD and toured Slovak cities. In 2018 the choir won the International Competition Canco Mediterrania in Lloret de Mar and Barcelona, 1st place in the folk music category and 2nd place in the sacred music category.
