The Jitro girls’ choir

The Jitro girls’ choir from the Czech Republic will come to Iceland this weekend and sing at Mass in the Cathedral of Christ the King in Landakot on Tuesday 18 August.

Jitro, meaning “Daybreak” in Czech, is more than just a concert choir from Hradec Kralove, a town in the Czech Republic. It is an organization of 400 children in seven preparatory ensembles, of which only the best 25 or 30 qualify to tour. For 45 years they have been admired all over the world for their tonal brilliance, superb intonation, distinctive rich blend of sound, and energetic vitality.
