Where do you come from?
Košice, Slovakia

Why do you like Apollo?
I sing in Apollo simply because I "considerably" like it and there are simply wonderful guys:) I love Apollo mailing list and the Apollo-journal written by Giulio:) and the summer barbecues, apollo parties and singing just where we feel the need, for instance in Jihlava catacombs :)

Do you have a favourite song in our repertoire? Which one?
Angelus Domini by Biebl - it´s a good rehearsal song for us in soprano. And also the Old-Slavonic Otče náš.

Is there any instrument that sounds well in your hands?
When I have a good day time to time, my beating-the-piano is quite bearable, others say... but that´s not very often the case.

What is your favourite music style or singers?
I like Dido, because her music is calm, and Sting, because there are good basses and also Zuzka Smatanová, because she is soooo nice ... and anything that doesn´t bring me headache.

What makes you happy?
Any type of chocolate but with nuts is the best :)

Said about Apollo

Apollo? Simply "a must" experience :-) :-)

I came to Apollo three months after I moved to Bratislava for work. Singing and meeting people from Apollo helps me relax in my busy life.

In connection with Apollo I always think of it´s people and of the energy that Apollo gives me.

I love Apollo mailing list and the Apollo-journal written by Giulio:) and summer barbecues, apollo parties and singing just where we feel the need, for instance in Jihlava catacombs :)

I came to Apollo when I started my university studies and it was just a coincidence that I tried out the first thing I came across. Well and then I liked it so much that I had to remain until today. :-)

I am in Apollo since 2004. But because of so many wonderful memories I feel as if it has been much much longer. I must say that Apollo means much more than just birds of song...

I always feel good with Apollo - anywhere and anytime - and there are a lot of funny people :)))

Why Apollo? And why not? Maybe because it is not just a choir.

A huge pile of wonderful memories is connected with Apollo, I like our spontaneous singing at fancy times and places (in the streets, Christmas markets, waiting in the line for lunch...)

In 1997 I discovered, thanks to Julko and Vinko, that there exist choirs in which normal mortal people can sing - then I understood that this would be exactly the thing I had been missing in my life...

It is wonderful when you can do what trully fills your heart and especially when it also causes joy of other people.

I´ve been singing siiiiince 2000 and why? Because I like it, it fill me with joy, it makes me meet new people and visit new places... I was lucky that Apollo was the first choir I tried out :).

Fascinuje ma keď si len tak niekde spontánne zaspievame- na ulici, v električke, v rade na lanovku...:) . Najviac ma očarila atmosféra v Českom Krumlove, kde sme si spievali kráčajúc nočnými uličkami.

Spievanie ma baví a sprevádza celý život, naša rodina bola vždy taká spevavá. Apollo sú úžasní ľudia, skladby, dirigent (a jeho vždy nové a nové metódy)
