As every year, due to the huge number of registered singers, we will have to organize two semi-final evenings. 55 male and female singers from Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Slovakia, Moldova and Malta will perform in both semi-final evenings. These are the ones who managed to pass a strict audition, during which the international jury had to choose only the best 55 semi-finalists from among 136 applicants.
The first 27 semi-finalists will perform on Friday, August 25, 2023. For visitors, the event starts at 5 p.m., and the performers have an hour of rehearsal, to which they should arrive at least 10 minutes earlier.
The other 28 semi-finalists will perform on Saturday, August 26, 2023. For visitors, the event starts at 5 p.m., and the performers have an hour of rehearsal, to which they should arrive at least 10 minutes early.
First semi-final evening, the expert jury and the audience in the hall will select 12 finalists and on the second semi-final 13 finalists, which means that on Sunday, August 27, 2023 at 7 p.m., a total of 25 finalists of the International Children’s Singing Festival Brežice 2023 will be presented, who will compete for rich prizes of the expert jury as well as the audience. The first three places in each age group will be awarded, while all other semi-finalists will share the excellent 4th place of the Brežice International Children’s Singing Festival!

This year’s 7th International Children’s Singing Festival in Brežice will host 55 young, talented singers aged 5 to 17, divided into three age groups. The expert jury had a very difficult task. From the 136 singers registered, at auditions in Slovenia, Croatia and online, the 55 best had to be selected. The selected singers come from Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Moldova, Slovakia and Malta.
The seventh year of the successful operation of the International Children’s Singing Festival “Brežice” is also closely monitored by the World Association of Performing Arts (WAPA – World Association of Performing Arts), which will also honor us this year with its guest appearance and participation in the expert jury of the final evening, as honorary members of the international jury:
Armando Gukasyan President WAPA (President of the World Association of Performing Arts – WAPA) and Evelina Batey President WAPA Europe (President of the World Association of Performing Arts – WAPA Europe)
Evelina Batey – President WAPA EUArmando Gukasyan – President WAPA
The members of the expert jury in the final evening on August 27 are also: Jožica Zupančič (clarinet professor at the Brežice Music School), Alen Jelušić (Glazbeno Plesni Studio Ritam Klanjec, producer) and Dejan Stojanov (musician and singer from Macedonia). In the semi-final evenings of August 25th and 26th, the expert jury will consist of Jožica Zupančič, Alen Jelušić and Dubravka Jelušić.
We sincerely thank all the participants of the audition for the International Children’s Singing Festival Brežice 2023 for their cooperation, and the applicants for their trust. Of course, we could not accept all 136 applicants this year either, as we can place a maximum of 60 performers at the Brežice International Children’s Singing Festival, 30 for each semi-final evening. Applicants are asked to explain these numerical limitations to all their young talented singers who may not have been able to make it to our festival this year and kindly advise them to apply next year. It is also important to understand that those who did not have a backup song and entered with the same song as someone before them could not be considered for the audition. It is important that you submit your application every year as soon as possible and without fail with an additional, spare song.
We sincerely congratulate everyone who made it to our festival, and we would like to thank the others for submitting their applications and thereby showing their trust!
