on behalf of Poznań Boys' Choir, I would like to thank you for honoring us with the presence of the Czech Boys Choir, during the 9th International Festival of Boys Choirs in Poznań.
The concerts of your choir in Poznań, Pniewy, Cerekwica and Konin were truly outstanding and were greatly appreciated by the Polish audience. We were extremely impressed with your performances, the professionalism of the children, and the quality of your singing. You enraptured us with an unusual ability to master musical intricacies, differences of style and a real sense of varied tone color.
Thank you for everything and we hope to meet with you again in the nearest future.
Please accept our best wishes for all your artistic plans!
