Read more🎉 Hooray! It finally happened!
Our wonderful vocal group "Dzhereltse", uniting Ukrainian children in Pärnu, has joyfully wrapped up the academic year and is heading into summer break — with songs in our hearts and smiles on our faces! ☀️
Over the past eight amazing months, we’ve gone from magical Christmas concerts to energetic spring performances, covering the entire school year. We grew together — as a group, as friends, and as a creative family.
New faces joined along the way, but the heart of the group remained strong, inspired, and full of energy.
Thanks to our talented kids, concert halls light up, audiences feel every beat, and our songs become bridges between cultures. ❤️
Estonian listeners love your voices, and that fuels our passion even more!
We can’t wait to see you all again in September for a new season of professional rehearsals.
You’re amazing, creative, and full of spirit!
A special thank-you to Maryna Bykovets-Ratushna, the heart and soul of this group.
With her dedication, time, and belief in us, she’s taught us to love both Ukrainian and Estonian songs, making the dream of a children’s choir in little Pärnu come true. 🎤
