As part of their Romano drom (Romani Way) project, which has been running for several years, the Čhavorenge Romani children's choir, led by Ida Kelarová, and the Czech Philharmonic have visited Romani settlements in Slovakia to bring hope, joy and music to those living there. Romano drom is a two-week summer school for the performing arts that has long supported musically talented Romani children and youth.
The project ended this year with three big concerts in eastern Slovakia's Hermanovce, Rakúsy and Spišské Tomášovce Romani settlements. Over more than a decade of collaboration, Čhavorenge and the Czech Philharmonic have played and sung in Belfast, Bratislava, London, at the "Pohoda" ("Contentment") Festival in Slovakia, at the Smetana Festival in Litomyšl, Czech Republic, and more than once in the Dvořák Hall of Prague's Rudolfinum concert venue.
