THE FIRST GATHERING OF SERBIAN CHOIRS OF
DIASPORA AND HOMELAND “VIDOVDAN 2003” OPENS
Belgrade, 28 June 2003 – TRH Crown Prince Alexander II and Crown Princess
Katherine attended the opening of the First Gathering of Serbian Choirs of
Diaspora and Homeland “Vidovdan 2003” at Saint Sava Temple last night. The
Gathering was organized with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Pavle
and the Holy Synod of Serbian Orthodox Church and under the patronage of HRH
Crown Prince Alexander II Karadjordjevic.
This year’s Gathering, opened by His Most Eminent Grace Metropolitan
Amfilohije, rallied about 40 church, academic and other choirs from Serbia
and Montenegro, Republika Srpska and the Diaspora, with 550 participants.
The choirs performed the works of Serbian spiritual music composers at the
Temple of Saint Sava and in this way started cooperation that will become
traditional.
The wish of His Royal Highness was to contribute to this important
cultural and spiritual event and continue the tradition of the South Slav
Singers Association that was founded by Kosta Manojlovic in 1929, under the
patronage of the late King Alexander I Karadjordjevic.
The organization of the Gathering was supported by the Serbian Ministries
of Religion and Culture.
