In the framework of the concert also art work and handicraft exhibition take place.
The time of Advent invites every one of us to think more about the essence of life, our aims and tasks. Search for and find the content with which to fulfil the everyday life and our way. The basis of the educated, knowing and cultural society is put in the family and school, which is why it is important to promote and develop in our younger generation such qualities as love towards people, goodness, sensitivity and mutual help. The universal language of the art and music can address and unite people of different nationalities, religions and political viewpoint. The more the youth will be interested in music, will learn the playing of musical instruments and will join the creative artistic processes, the more intelligent, united and stronger will be our society and country. The concert In the Light of Advent is a project that is based on the creativity and mutual cooperation of children and youth, as well as professional musicians.
