"Zvjezdice", djevojački zbor

Godine 1985. zbor je pri Glazbenom centru mladih u Zagrebu utemeljio dirigent, skladatelj, pedagog i producent Zdravko Šljivac koji i danas vodi ansambl. Tijekom godina zbor se razvio u prvorazredni vokalni ansambl koji sudjeluje u mnogim zahtjevnim profesionalnim projektima surađujući s vodećim hrvatskim ansamblima kao što su Zagrebačka filharmonija, Zagrebački solisti, Simfonijski orkestar HRT, Hrvatsko narodno kazalište u Zagrebu i dr. Sudjelujući na mnogim domaćim i svjetskim festivalima zbor je dobio vrijedna priznanja i nagrade, među ostalim nagradu "Ivan Lukačić" za sudjelovanje u izvedbi oratorija Stabat mater G. B. Pergolesija na Varaždinskim baroknim večerima, nagradu za najbolju izvedbu suvremene skladbe na Međunarodnom festivalu u Celju. Posebno se izdvaja dvostruka pobjeda na Svjetskom festivalu zborova u Llangollenu, u Sjevernom Walesu. Osim klasičnog zborskog a cappella programa zbor izvodi djela suvremenih hrvatskih skladatelja te sudjeluje u izvedbama vokalno-instrumentalnih skladbi kao što su Mahlerova Osma simfonija, Orffova Carmina burana, Fauréov Requiem, Brittenov Ratni requiem, Berliozovo "Kristovo djetinjstvo" i dr., kao i u izvedbama opera "Parsifal" R. Wagnera, "Carmen" G. Bizeta, "Mefistofele" A. Boita i dr. Dosad je zbor ostvario više stotina tonskih zapisa te niz samostalnih diskografskih izdanja među kojima se izdvajaju CD "AVE MUNDI GLORIA", dvostruki CD u povodu 15. godišnjice djelovanja te božićna izdanja uz mnoge hrvatske ansamble i soliste.
