English Rock Choir
Hladnov Rock Choir is a lively body that joins enthusiastic and talented musicians keen on interpreting non-artificial music. The choir was set up in September 2014 and is directed by Miroslav Hlavačka.
Our vision:
Our main goal is to perform pop and rock songs in cooperation with Hlad-now band and other talented musicians. We interpret and sing songs we like and organize concerts for fans of modern music.
Our achievements:
Our first concert in December 2014 was a big success. The Christmas concert for about 500 people took place in the former Vesmír cinema (see the pictures).
Our plans:
The next concert is scheduled for 11 February 2015 and will be held in Alfa hall in Ostrava. We are also planning to take part in a national high-school vocal competition in March.
