Dear conductors, singers, friends of music

The 6th Grand Prix Pattaya choir festival and compe-tition is one of the Festa Musicale choral event which is growing up every year. This year, choirs from 6 countries came to Thailand to compete in 11 competition catego-ries of the Grand Prix Competition.

I am sure that all performances will be well received here and that experiences of participating choirs in Thai-land will also extend far beyond the stage. I would like to wish all the participants a pleasant and memorable stay in Thailand - Land of Smiles.

I wish you good luck and success.

Mixed choir Viva was established in 1992 by the conductor Simona Rožman Strnad, who has held this position up to this day. Constant competition achievements and invitations to various places bring the choir energy and enthusiasm which keeps encouraging the singers to give their best. The choir Viva concerted in Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Germany, Canada, Switzerland and France. In 2005, they won the 1st prize at the competition in Lithuania. In 2007, they attended the choral competition in Preveza, Greece, and won the gold medal. Their repertoire includes a rich variety of choral literature: sacral compositions, folk songs arrange-ments and secular compositions, originating from various stylistic periods. They are also very fond of young composers’ innovations as well as those from established Slovenian composers. They participated in Carl Orff’s cantata Carmina Burana project with international contri-bution and concerts in Germany and Slovenia in 2010. The last great project so far has been the participation at the Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 in E-flat major, also called the Symphony of a Thousand, under the conductor’s baton of Valerij Gergijev. The event took place in July 2011 in collaboration with Slovenian and Croatian prestige amateur and professional choirs, carefully chosen soloists, and the orchestras of Slovenian and Zagreb Philharmonics.
