Zdravko Sljivac is the genius behind this success who created an Institution of Girls Choir that has a deep foundation. Support him and the girls in whichever way you can. They deserve our attention. If you need something today, you can still call them in Zagreb. Schedule and contact sheet is either on the link:http://www.vizija.net/zvjezdice/  or/and below. Culture is our best presentation and promotion. And this is where we are talented and strong.

Dear all,

I just wanted to let you know that the world champion girls choir from Croatia -- the Little Stars, or Zvijezdice -- is touring in the US over the next few weeks. Since my cousin, Iva Sucic, is a member, I thought I would inform everyone of their upcoming tour!

Zvijezdice will be performing in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City from December 2-19, 2004.

You can check out their schedule and contact details for the concerts online at:

Please come out and support the girls!

Best wishes
Sanja
