OKD Mining Festival at Karviná: The only concert of Korn and Vondráčková this year, Májovák band, Nightwork, a show for kids and charitable events
KARVINÁ (31st August 2010) – A show which Karviná has not seen for a long time. There will be three stages where the music stars led by Jiří Korn and Helena Vondráčková will sing and characters close to children's hearts will play in the Magical Nursery of Michal Nesvadba. At the square and in Božena Němcová's Park dozens of projects supported by the OKD Foundation will be presented and Barborka will organise the “Best Cake” competition. There will be a lot to eat and drink. This is part of the OKD Mining Festival in September which is now in preparation and focuses on miners, their families and friends and residents of the Karviná region in general.
„We tried to put together a programme which miners and their family would like. We managed to persuade Helena Vondráčková and Jiří Korn to perform together which is their only concert this year with the exception of musicals where they will sing together. The concert of Martin Chodúr, whose father works in our sister company OKK Koksovny, will also be a special event,“ said the Chief Public Relations & Communication Officer of OKD Petra Mašínová.
Worship and entertainment
The Festival will start with a miners´service at the Povýšení sv. Kříže Church on Saturday, 4th September at noon. Then the Festival will unfold with the music of the Májovák brass band (amphitheatre) at 13:00 followed by the Doga band at 13:30 (main stage in the park). At the same time the programme in the square will start too where there will be children´s choirs and the popular “Ondruš” brass band of miners (14:30). There will also be other singers and performers on stage such as Vilém Čok with his band “Bypass”, then “Turbo”, Zdeněk Izer, Guločar and “Rock and Roll Band” of Marcel Woodman. And of course the stars – Korn and Vondráčková, Chodúr and “Nightwork” - the popularity of which is increasing - with Vojta Dyk. The last band playing on the main stage – “Arakain” – will have synchronised fireworks in the introduction.
Those who like to help can also find something interesting. Both in the square and in the park they can learn more about the activities of more than thirty not-for-profit organisations which are supported by the OKD Foundation and perhaps they could agree with them on some co-operation. And everybody can perform charitable deeds on the spot. „We are preparing the traditional “Best Cake” competition. We are looking forward to many entries and visitors buying many of them as the entire proceeds go to the orphans of miners,“ explained the Mums´ committee chief Marta Szamaránská from the Civic Association of St. Barbara.
