OHRID MAYOR WELCOMES THE PARTICIPANTS
Welcome to Ohrid –
The Balkan’s
Jerusalem,
The Town of the Spirituality and Inspiration
Ohrid, the town of
culture and the cultural-historical heritage; The town known world
wide for its natural beauties and the wonderful lake; The town that is
so unique and has so many peculiarities is registered to the World’s
protected heritage of UNESCO. Of course, these are values that history
has given and made in time. But, there are also many achievements by
the new generations because Ohrid is “alive” and a modern center that
develops on daily basis and becomes wanted tourist destination.
One of the things
that Ohrid can be proud of today is the Ohrid choir. The young singers
led by their conductor Aleksandar Dimoski, with daily practice and
hard work, have made to get in the affirmed choirs in Macedonia in a
short time. With their interpretations and many successful
performances in different competitions and festivals in
Macedonia
and abroad, the choir has proved to be music ambassador of Ohrid and
Macedonia.
We can surely be proud of having a choir like this and we
hope that its performances can best affirm Ohrid as a town of culture.
The presentation of Ohrid in the world through the choral singing has
given us the opportunity to be the host town of the international
festival for choral singing.
To be the host town of an event of this kind is a great
honor. The Ohrid choir with its success has gained my confidence to
organize this event, and Ohrid as a municipality and I personally as
the Mayor will do all that is in my power to make this event
successful.
We’ll be good hosts and I believe that this event shall be
remembered for a long time by all of you. Therefore I welcome all of
the participants.
ALEKSANDAR PETRESKI,
Ohrid Mayor
