„Philanthropy and patronage of the arts is a key pillar of society in many nations. Art and music are the pinnacle of our civilization and successful individuals around the world view them as a cause they both enjoy and support, out of moral duty. Giving back is the means to even greater success. Time has come to turn this message into outreach, change the status quo, and forge a new social norm without precedent. Slovakia is your fresh chance to make major impact. Your support will make a dent in history and promote philanthropy in a country that has few role models in it. Bratislava Boys’ Choir Patrons Program is the first one in an entire nation. Imagine your impact and pioneering role if you join its patrons now!“

Bratislava Boys’ Choir Patron and former Vice Governor of the National Bank of
Slovakia
Welcome in the family of Bratislava Boys’ Choir Patrons. SING! is a unique membership club to take our award-winning ensemble to the next level of success at home and abroad through increased moral and financial support. Our patron program works like a choir. There is The Member’s Circle, The Soloist’s Circle, and The Conductor’s Circle, each with unique benefits. You can forge a personal relationship with the choir and enjoy unique experiences.
The Bratislava Boys’ Choir has performed thousands of concerts, raised countless youth
and criss-crossed the globe. It appeared in operas at the Vienna State Opera, performed
in Vienna Konzerthaus, Carnegie Hall and other venues at this level. It has ongoing
engagement with the Slovak Philharmonic and Slovak National Theater.
We created The Story of Music, the largest music education project in the nation. My
mom, Magdaléna Rovňáková has received prestigious awards, including The Crystal Wing,
Slovak Citizen of the Year, Minister of Culture Award, The Presidential Gold Medal.
Many dreams remain to be shaped into reality. We want to share more music and bring even
more joy. Our amazing team of skilled educators is raising a new generation of
disciplined leaders who can find and claim their own path in a world of smartphones and
tablets. Beauty, music and the arts resonate in their hearts. Your support and gifts
will encourage them to go out and make a difference in the world. Because you did.
Welcome home.

Become a patron today and enjoy unique benefits in three membership tiers: The Member’s Circle, The Soloist’s Circle and The Conductor’s Circle. Membership is valid for 12 months with optional renewal.
Every ensemble needs a good membership base to function well. The whole body is the sum of all its important parts. In time, you could become a soloist, or even a conductor. Some might think a few members here and there do not make a difference. Not for us. Our choir needs you. Otherwise, together, we couldn’t be called an ensemble.
As a soloist, you are invaluable. Because your role brings unique experience to our audiences. When a soloist takes the stage, viewers expect the best. Concert moments featuring soloists are the highlight of our performance. We cannot imagine the Bratislava Boys’ Choir without them.
As a conductor you are the face of our ensemble. You set the quality level and choose the repertoire. You are also the choir’s chief manager and possess executive authority. The choir could not exist without a conductor. There can be more than one; just like in the Bratislava Boys’ Choir. Its two conductors form a great team.
