14. 6. 2013

The balloon with the logo of the Velehrad celebrations and the Close-by Adoption will be available for purchase on Thursday afternoon at Velehrad. Every visitor to the Days of the People of Goodwill may engage in this. "The balloons will be released in large numbers at the beginning of the live concert on the eve of the national holiday of Cyril and Methodius. We will try to break the record from last year when 2012 balloons were released at once," one of the organizers of the event, Marie Kolmačková, describes the event. The balloons will have a card with a QR code and a unique numerical code, according to which information about a possible founder of the released balloon will be possible to be sought out and he or she can be identified with the aid of a Facebook application.

During the concert called “Evening of the People of Goodwill” the following artists will perform: Jiří Pavlica with Hradišťan, Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic Orchestra Zlín, a significant Czech baritone Roman Janál, a renowned concert singer from Slovakia Simona Houda-Šaturová, from Italy baritone Franco Vassallo will come and from Estonia mezzosopranist Kai Rüütel.

  • Their work is also a very important contribution to the growth of the common Christian roots of Europe, which by their firmness and viability create one of the main contact points, which must be respected by every serious attempt at reunification of our continent in a new and topical way.
