We are the ELPIDA choir
They call us rock grandmas, singing grandmas, variously. We are twenty-five ladies between the ages of sixty and ninety and the choirmaster is Eliska Radikovská. We have been meeting weekly since 2010 to prepare for various performances. We have sung at large summer festivals and small clubs in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. We have stood on stage with a lot of stars. We like to accompany younger musicians and remind the public and ourselves that even in old age you can feel like you are having fun at twenty-five. That's exactly the age we always feel on stage.
