DPS Caro Raškovice

Česká republika

The youth choir CARO was founded at the elementary school in Raškovice in September 2013. Raškovice is a nice village near Lysá mountain. The choir is led by Mgr. Anna Kajzarová who is the head of two choirs CARO and Bel Canto in Třinec. There are 60 children in 2 sections of the choir aged 7-16. The choir has a wide scale of repertoire. Besides the classical composers you can hear songs from contemporary popular authors. We cannot forget traditional Silesian and Lachian songs and spirituals, which have an important place in choir‘s portfolio as well.The choir has already performed 70 concerts and participated in many festivals in the Czech Republic and Poland. The first success was the second place in a regional competition in Orlová in March 2015. The CARO choir won the first place at the festival of Advent music in Frýdek-Místek in 2016. We really appreciate two successes in international competions such as The International Christmas Festival in Prague in 2015 and Prague Advent and Christmas festival with Petr Eben‘s prize in 2016. We received silver diplomas at both festivals.
