It was the 10th annual gala program of the Slovak ethnic choirs associated within Matica Slovenska all over Slovakia. In the 15 minutes program Bystrican sang several lovely folksongs coming from the Zahorie (West Slovakia) region, as well as a national song Slovensko moje, being led by the choirmaster Štefan Martinkovič playing accordion. The manager of the Matica Slovenska House in Galanta Bc. Zlatica Gažová awarded each choir a memorandum and invited the participants to a „glass of wine“ reception.
