Sanremo Junior – About the Competition

An international children’s song com-petition with live orchestra accom-paniment for solo singers aged 6-15 years (pop, rock, jazz, folk, classical).

One of the most prestigious interna-

tional competitions for young singers

aged 6-15 years, who will perform a

song of their choice with the accompa-

niment of a 37-member live orchestra

to compete with singers from other

countries. The Sanremo Junior com-

petition is organised by Kismet, a com-

pany known all over the world through

GEF – the World Creativity Festival in

Schools. In 2018, Kismet organised the

ninth edition of this international solo

singer competition, emphasising the

dissemination of music and singing

among young individuals and trying to

give them an opportunity to perform

for music experts in an internation-

al and multi-ethnic environment. The

appearance of the young competitors

with a live orchestra is a unique oppor-

tunity worldwide. The grand finale is

held every year in the famous Ariston

Theatre in the city of Sanremo, Italy.

This year‘s competition was held on

16-21 April 2018. For more information,

please visit www.sanremojunior.it.

The Czech Republic participated for the

first time in 2016, represented by the

highly gifted 11-year-old singer Kristýna

Petráková, who received a special jury

award for her performance.

The representative of the Czech Repub-

lic in 2017 was Nela Duchačová (11),

who finished second in her category.

The Slovak Republic was represented

by Adriana Habrdová (13).

In 2018, the Slovak representative Mar-

garéta Ondrejková won 1st prize, finish-

ing right after the absolute winner of

the competition from Belarus.

The representative of the Czech Repub-

lic, Sofie Fiurášková, received a special

jury award for her performance.

Offer of Cooperation

Sanremo Junior – Previous Competitions

In 2016, the Czech Republic for the

first time sent its representative to

the international Sanremo Jun-

ior song competition, held in the

spa town of Sanremo in Liguria.

The representative was the very

gifted 11-year-old Kristýna Petrák-

ová. During the event, the eve-

nings in Sanremo were enlivened

with the sounds of a symphony

orchestra accompanying young

singers from all over the world on

the competition stage. The sing-

ers came from countries such as

the USA, Argentina, South Africa,

Israel, Paraguay, France, Malta and

many more. Kiki Petráková sang a

song by the Icelandic singer Björk

“It’s Oh So Quiet”, receiving the

special award of the jury for her

performance. Kristýna Petráková

has continued her promising ca-

reer at many more concerts, for

example with Jitka Zelenková, Le-

ona Machálková, Pavel Vítek and

Karel Vlach Big Band, and above

all on the musical stage, where

she performs the main children’s

role in Soap Prince and earned

the main role in the world musical

Shrek. In 2018, she will release her

first CD My Journey to the Stars

and is involved in many other ar-

tistic activities.

In 2017, the Czech Republic was

also joined by Slovakia at the

event. At the final gala of Sanre-

mo Junior CR/SR on 22 February

2017 in the Hybernia Theatre, Nela

Duchačová (11) was selected by

the professional jury as the rep-

resentative of the Czech Republic

for the international competition.

Accompanied by the Bon Art Pops

Orchestra, she sang “Let it Go”

from the film Frozen. She sang the

same song as the representative

of the Czech Republic at the inter-

national finals with the Sanremo

Orchestra.

The Slovak Republic was repre-

sented at the grand finale in San-

remo by Adriana Habrdová (13)

with the song “An Angel” by the

The Kelly Family. The 2017 inter-

national finals featured 24 solo

singers from 18 countries. Nela

ranked 2nd in her category, which

was a great success. Lizi Tsereteli

of Georgia finished in first place

and was also the overall winner of

the competition.

The other countries participating

in the 2017 Sanremo Junior festi-

val included France, Greece, Italy,

Hungary, the Philippines, Indone-

sia, Malta, Seychelles, Bulgaria and

Kazakhstan.

On the basis of this success, Nela

received a scholarship to the pres-

tigious Canadian School, which

she now attends, and has ap-

peared at many grand concerts

and galas since, for example with

Leona Machálková, Radim Schwab

and others. She continues with

her singing and dancing and is

preparing her first CD. Adriana

Habrdová has also released her

first CD and continues to pursue

her dream of success by becom-

ing a successful singer, including

participation in the Czech-Slovak

Superstar, where she attracted the

attention of the whole jury with

her excellent singing technique at

such a young age.

Sanremo Junior CZ/SK 2017/2018

In May 2017, we announced auditions for the Czech

and Slovak Republics for 2018.

Solo singers from the two countries had the chance to

advance to the national finals, held with the accompa-

niment of the Bon Art Pops Orchestra in the Hybernia

Theatre on 21 February 2018. The Bon Art Pops Or-

chestra, exclusively composed of female musicians,

has accompanied many stars of Czech and Slovak pop-

ular music in the past, including Miro Žbirka, Chinaski,

David Koller, Marek Ztracený, Michal Hrůza, Janek Le-

decký, Dan McCafferty (Nazareth), Jaroslav Svěcený,

Michaela Gemrotová, Radim Schwab and many more.

A total of 10 singers from the Czech Republic and 3

from Slovakia advanced to the national finals, and all

of them then underwent intense 6-month preparation

for the demanding gala and indeed proved their art

not only with their singing technique but also through

their cooperation with the orchestra, the conductor

and their brave appearance on the big stage. Emphasis

was also placed on their behaviour and communica-

tion off stage.

The representatives for the international competition

selected by the jury from the grand finale were Sofie

Fiurášková (CR) and Margaréta Ondrejková (SR).

Jury:

Helena Vondráčková – singer, actress

Miro Žbirka – singer, composer and lyrics writer

Anna K. – singer

Leona Machálková – singer

Tereza Kavecká – operatic and musical singer, voice

teacher

Janis Sidovský – manager and producer

Miroslav Michálek – music dramaturge, host on the

Frekvence 1 radio channel, lyrics writer, musician

Michal Klein – music director of TV Óčko

Michaela A. Dobrovolná – director of the Kühnova

Children|s Choir

Jaroslav Svěcený – virtuoso violinist

Hana Petřinová – owner of a music and production

agency

Radim Schwab – musical singer and actor

These two finalists received another intensive course

organised by Bon Art Music, SE, where they underwent

music scene, including pop and musical.

They attended rehearsals with a live orchestra, stu-

dio recording, choreography preparation, lessons in

communication with the media and in general before

spending a week in the spa town of Sanremo, where

they competed with the finalists from the other partic-

ipating countries.

A professional approach was emphasised throughout

the competition.

Sanremo Junior 2018, World Finals – ItalyThe Czech Republic participated in the internation-

al Sanremo Junior song competition for a third time

in 2018, the Slovak Republic for the second time. The

competition was held in the spa town of Sanremo in

Liguria on 16-21 April 2018. At the final gala of the San-

remo Junior CZ/SK held in the Hybernia Theatre on 21

February 2018, the professional jury selected 14-year-

old Sofie Fiurášková, who appeared with the song

“Because of You” by Kelly Clarkson accompanied by

the Bon Art Pops Orchestra. She represented the Czech

Republic with the same song at the world grand fina-

le accompanied by the Sanremo Orchestra. The Slo-

vak Republic was represented at the world finals by

14-year-old Margaréta Ondrejková with the song “Be-

fore He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood.

In the course of the week, both competitors had sev-

eral orchestra rehearsals and on Wednesday, 18 April

2018 they appeared in the Ariston Theatre at the of-

ficial world finals. For the rest of the week, both Sofie

and Margaréta represented the Czech and Slovak re-

publics at the GEF World School Festival of Creativity.

The two competitors earned two fantastic prizes and

great success in the finals. Margaréta received 1st prize right after the singer from Belarus, who became the

absolute winner of the competition. Sofie received the

“Special Jury Award” for her performance. After last

year’s competition, where Nela Duchačová received

the 2nd prize in her category, we advanced a little high-

er this year to prove that talent from the Czech and

Slovak republics can easily compete and succeed with

the best in the world. They only need a little help.

The international finals featured representatives from

16 countries, who advanced to the selection from the

original 35 countries and were heard by the interna-

tional festival jury at the world Grand Finale. The oth-

er countries participating in Sanremo Junior this year

included, for example, the USA, Panama, Italy, the

Ukraine, Malta, Kazakhstan and Sweden.

A Word from the Artistic Director of the Competition Dear Partners,

We would like to address you with our offer of cooperation on

the organisation of the children’s singing competition for jun-

ior artists from 6 to 15 years of age, the Sanremo Junior CZ/SK.

Another competition has just ended and we can boast of

very positive results. In the previous years were received

one jury award and one second prize. This year was

more than successful for us, although we do not want

to rest on our laurels and are aiming for the top ranks, for

the quality of our young singers is truly comparable to the

global community. We received first prize in the top age

category of children up to the age of 15 and one jury award.

It is not that there is a lack of competitions of this kind on

our market, but none of them has ever been able to offer

anything that would help the young talents in their further

development. We have prepared a separate competition al-

lowing the children to personally try what their great idols

experience on stage in front of a big orchestra. None of the

competitions offer the chance to sing with a 50-piece or-chestra. The are many young talents appearing in musicals

and on theatre stages, but they do not have the chance to

sing under the spotlights of a large concert stage. And this is

what we want to offer them. This is the junior version of the

popular Sanremo festival. It has been a challenge for us and

we have another 3 years to prove that we are a good choice

for our Italian partner. It is not easy to choose 10 young

Czech and 3 Slovak singers, each of whom will travel to the

grand finale to represent their country.

As in previous years, we are preparing a continuation of our

Sanremo Junior CZ/SK 2018/2019 in an effort to support

young talents who might someday replace the current rep-

resentatives of the popular or classical music scenes. Past

experience shows that there are many children who want

to sing and possess the necessary talents and techniques.

Surprisingly enough, many music schools support these

children in their efforts. It is probably a rare phenomenon

on the global scale to see music schools supported by the

state that work like this. The 2017 finals showed that these

children were not afraid to appear in front of a big sympho-

ny orchestra and sing a complex composition in English.

The finals featured 13 competitors from the Czech Repub-

lic, with the Czech finalist of 2016/2017, Kristýna Petráková,

and the finalist of the Slovak Sanremo Junior 2017, Adriana

Habrdová, as guests. All children had undergone demanding

preparation for the finals. The winner was 11-year-old Nela

Duchačová with the song “Let it Go”. She also appeared at

the world finals in Sanremo, Italy.

The finals featured 18 children from 24 countries around

the world. Our representative ranked second in her catego-

ry, right after the absolute winner of the competition. This

is of course a great success and motivation for all future

competitors. For us it is a great commitment to maintain

the high level set by this year’s competition. This year (2018)

the Czech Republic was represented by Sofie Fiurášková and

Slovakia by Margaréta Ondrejková. Sofie was already in the

narrow selection in 2016 but finally finished right below the

top ten. She worked hard and advanced to the top ten in

2017-18. She won the Czech finals and was selected to rep-

resent the Czech Republic in Italy. There she received the

fantastic jury award. The Slovak representative, Margaré-

ta Ondrejková, won her category in Italy. This represents a

great commitment for the following years for us. We have

managed to establish cooperation with the Maltese and the

Italian national part of this competition and thus we can

send the winners to the Maltese finals in 2019 as guests. That

will certainly be very motivating for their further develop-

ment and we hope also for our new competitors. We want

to help young performers attend, for example, the children’s

Eurosong competition in the future.

We would greatly appreciate if you could help develop

Czech culture and contribute to this unique project. As with

all competitions, this one is also very financially demanding.

With your help we can let the young singers try everything,

and maybe make them known and open the doors for them

to theatres, TV or national and maybe even international ra-

dio. We know our goals are demanding, but without them

no great things can be achieved. At present, the whole bur-

den is carried by their parents, who often sacrifice funds that

are unfathomable for many of us. We are glad that at least

parents take such great care of the artistic development of

their children. It should also be in our interest to make our

country a high-culture country producing many new Karel

Gotts, Lucie Bílás, Helena Vondráčkovás and Michal Davids.

Every country has a population it has raised on its own. We

would like to contribute to renewing the reputation of our

country as one with excellent singers, composers and solo

artists. This may be one of the means to this end.

It is up to you whether you decide to help pave the way for

our young talented children to not only the national but also

the international scene.

Ing. Richard Liegert

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Allow me to address you with a special

offer of cooperation on the project enti-

tled “Sanremo Junior Czech Republic &

Slovakia”.

Sanremo Junior is an international chil-

dren’s singing competition featuring live

orchestra accompaniment for solo sing-

ers aged 6-15 (pop, rock, jazz, folk, clas-

sical).

Auditions were announced in May 2018

for the Czech and Slovak republics for the

2018/2019 competition.

The soloists are given a chance here to

compete in the national finals held with

the accompaniment of the Bon Art Pops

Orchestra at the Hybernia Theatre.

The Bon Art Pops Orchestra, an exclusive-

ly female orchestra, has already accom-

panied stars like Miro Žbirka, Chinaski, Da-

vid Koller, Marek Ztracený, Michal Hrůza,

Janek Ledecký, Dan McCafferty (Naza-

reth), Jaroslav Svěcený, Michaela Gemr-

otová, Radim Schwab and many more.

A maximum 10 singers from the Czech

Republic and 5 from the Slovak Republic

will advance to the national finale held

at the Hybernia Theatre on 20 February

2019, where the young singers will pres-

ent not only their singing art but also their

skills of cooperation with the orchestra

and the conductor and their courage to

appear on a big stage. Emphasis will also

be placed on off-stage conduct. All the fi-

nalists will undergo a special preparatory

course for the big finale.

A professional jury will then select one

Czech and one Slovak representative

from the national finals.

The two finalists will receive special in-

tensive training provided by the Bon Art

Music, SE for future personalities of the art

scene, whether singers or musical stars.

They will rehearse with a big orchestra,

record in a studio, prepare choreography,

learn to communicate with (not only) the

media and finally travel to the spa town

of Sanremo for a week to compete with

the finalists from the other participating

countries.

Increasing interest in con-

certs where popular sin-

gers are accompanied by

a big orchestra led to the

foundation of an ensemble

able to perform various ge-

nres on the top level as brought about by

the dramaturgy of the concerts organised

by Bon Art Music, SE.

The concerts held by this agency inten-

tionally combine opera scenes, sympho-

nic and chamber music with jazz, swing,

rock and pop. This places great demands

on the individual orchestra players, which

is why the BAPO is made up of excellent

musicians meeting the performing stan-

dards required by the different parts.

After years of staffing the orchestra with

both male and female performers, we

decided in 2014 to make the ensemble a

female orchestra.

At the final gala of the Sanremo Juni-or Czech Republic & Slovakia, the or-chestra will perform as a big band with woodwind, complete string and exten-ded percussion sections.

The ladies have performed very well, and

that is why we wish to continue in this

trend and engage female performers for

the purpose of concerts as well as recor-

ding sessions. Depending on its size, the

orchestra changes names: Bon Art Pops

Orchestra, Bon Art Chamber Orchestra or

Bon Art Symphony Orchestra.

The response suggests that we have set

out on the right path. We have changed

the perception in this country that wo-

men do not play the trumpet or trombo-

ne. We were surprised ourselves by how

many women are able to perform the de-

manding solo parts in big band composi-

tions with great skill.
