Чешская Республика

The youth choir CARO was founded at the elementary school in Raškovice in September 2013. Raškovice is a charming village near Lysá mountain. The choir has been led by Mgr. Anna Kajzarová, who heads two choirs, CARO and Bel Canto, in Třinec. There are 68 children in two sections of the choir, aged 7-16. The choir has a broad repertoire, featuring not only classical composers but also songs from current popular authors. Traditional Silesian and Lachian songs, along with spirituals, also hold an important place in the choir's portfolio. Over the years, the choir has participated in over 160 concerts and competitions, not only in the Czech Republic but also in Poland and Slovakia. The choir has received several important awards, such as the 2nd place at the Christmas International Choir Festival in Prague, the 3rd place at the International Festival of Advent and Christmas Music in Bratislava, and another 2nd place at the Christmas International Choir Festival in Prague. A significant achievement for the choir is the 1st place at the Prague Advent and Christmas Choral Festival with Petr Eben's Prize in December 2022
