The project was called Quartissimo feat. Martina Majerle and the song "Love Symphony". Unfortunately, the song only ended up at Number 16 in Semi Final 2, though an unforgettable entry to the Eurovision Song Contest.

Performances. Due to the Corona Pandemic a new way had to be found to stage Junior Eurovision 2020. This will be the first time that the contest will be held remotely, with each artist performing from a television studio in their country of origin. To give smoothness and confidence to the competition, the 13 participating broadcasters committed themselves to giving equal conditions to each of the participants, using a similar scenario and the same technical resources. The opening protocol, interval acts and voting will be broadcast live from Studio 5 in TVP Headquarters on Warsaw, Poland.
