Why do you like Apollo?
I went to Apollo just for a short try to see how it goes in a choir (at high school I used to sing in a folk group :-)... I´m still here and it´s been more than 10 years. I like music we sing... and when in a rehearsal or in a concert we manage not only to sing with good technique but also to give it a spiritual dimension, I feel unbelievably enriched and feel as if we touched the sky for a short instance... And all this, I think, has something to do with the fact that people in Apollo and our conductor are extraordinary people. It´s not just their feeling the music but beiing sincere human beings... I like to recall many Apollo events - Loreto, Prague, informal singing in many occassions e.g. in Fano by the sea in the night or in churches that we found by chance when strolling about... Those were magic moments.
Do you have a favourite song in our repertoire? Which one?
I like almost all compositions..., Old-Slavonic Otče náš, Sanctus by Lukáš, Krška, ...
Is there any instrument that sounds well in your hands?
Piano.
What is your favourite music style or singers?
I like classic music of Mozart, Dvořák, folk music, jazz, everything that has good energy.
What makes you happy?
When children are happy, when I meet nice people, good art, nature.
