Dārgie koristi!<br />
Man ir liels gods sveikt jūs – Nāciju Grand Prix Rīga <strong>2017</strong> un Eiropas Koru<br />
olimpiādē! Šogad Eirovīzija pirmo reizi rīko jaunu starptautisku TV talantu<br />
konkursu, kas cildina kordziedāšanu, – “Eurovīzijas Gada koris”. Šis konkurss ir<br />
piektais Eirovīzijas konkursu saimes projekts.<br />
Kordziedāšana ir brīnišķīga, veselīga un draudzību raisoša skaņrades forma un<br />
tāpēc tik ļoti atbilst tādai sabiedriskajai televīzijai, ko vēlas atbalstīt un sekmēt<br />
Eirovīzija. Visas Eiropas raidsabiedrības gatavo jaunus formātus un programmas<br />
saistībā ar koru konkursu, un Eirovīzijas nolūks ir šo sacensību par Eirovīzijas<br />
Gada kora titulu pārvērst ikgadējā TV notikumā, kas iedvesmo klausītājus<br />
dziedāt kopā, demonstrējot, ko spēj sasniegt apvienotas cilvēku balsis.<br />
Esam priecīgi par lielisko sadarbību ar Eiropas Koru olimpiādes <strong>2017</strong> organizētājiem<br />
– INTERKULTUR un LIVE RIGA, un, protams, ar Latvijas Televīziju (LTV),<br />
kas veiks pasākuma norises translēšanu no arēnas. Jūs visi esat tur ļoti gaidīti<br />
– nāciet, dziedāsim kopā!<br />
Bet tikmēr priecājieties par lielisko Rīgu, dziļi ievelciet elpu un ļaujiet, lai dzied<br />
jūsu sirdis!<br />
Dear singers!<br />
It is a great honor for me to welcome you to the Grand Prix of Nations Riga <strong>2017</strong><br />
and <strong>European</strong> <strong>Choir</strong> <strong>Games</strong>, where for the first time Eurovision will launch a new<br />
international TV competition celebrating choral singing; Eurovision <strong>Choir</strong> of the<br />
Year – the fifth element of our competition portfolio led by the Eurovision Song<br />
Contest.<br />
Choral singing is wonderful, health-giving and a friendship-forming form of music-making,<br />
making it a natural fit for the kind of public-service television that<br />
Eurovision seeks to support and foster. Broadcasters around the world are commissioning<br />
new formats and programs around the subject, and it is Eurovision’s<br />
intention to establish Eurovision <strong>Choir</strong> of the Year as a recurring TV competition<br />
that inspires audiences to sing together by showing what is possible when you<br />
combine human voices.<br />
We are grateful for the fine cooperation with INTERKULTUR and Live Riga, and,<br />
of course, with Latvijas Televizija (LTV), who will produce the pictures from the<br />
arena. You’re all very welcome to come and sing along.<br />
In the meantime, enjoy the beautiful city of Riga, take a deep breath – and let<br />
your hearts sing!<br />
Jon Ola Sand
