The Festival of Slovak national song took part on May 19.-20. in Bratislava – Devínska Nová Ves.
The Bystričan choir was a part of the program in both days. On Saturday, 19th of May, Bystričan sang Slovak national songs in the Museum of the Croatian culture in Slovakia, at the festive meeting dedicated to the memorial of the Slovak writer Rudolf Sloboda with the academic sculptor Alexander Ilečko, the author of his monument. The performance of Bystričan was warmly accepted by the attendants. After the official part, the attendants of the meeting asked for some more songs and the singers gladly added some. They were accompanied by the accordion played by the choirmaster Štefan Martinkovič.
The main program took place on Sunday. May 20, in Istrocentrum. For this appereance,
The Bystricans prepared 6 songs from the region of Zahorie. Some of them were sung a´capella, some with the accordion of Štefan Martinkovič. The choirmaster, together with the singers were pleased by the warm acceptance of their appearance, inspite of the participation of the other well known choirs, like Rodokmeň or Kytica.
The successful performance during the Festival is for the choir a great encouragement to their further set up of the new CD, but also for building up their further appearances they plan in the near future.
