Mješoviti pjevački zbor Nadbiskupske klasične gimnazije s pravom javnosti

Croatia

The Mixed Choir of Nadbiskupska Klasična Gimnazija was founded in the autumn of 1999, inspired by a decades-long tradition of boys singing in the lower seminary. Initially established as the NKG vocal ensemble, the choir gradually grew and became a boys' choir. In 2003, when the school began enrolling girls, the choir transformed into a mixed choir. Young choristers sing at liturgical services and actively participate in school projects, with the school’s traditional Advent concert, "Advent na Šalati," being a standout event. The choir has performed across Croatia and participated in music festivals for students of Catholic grammar schools, as well as music creativity festivals for primary and secondary school students in Zagreb. Notable collaborations include performances with the Orchestra of the Croatian Armed Forces. The boys' choir has won awards four times at the Croatian Youth Music Festivities in Varaždin, while the mixed choir has received several awards, including four silver plaques and one gold plaque. This school year, the choir celebrates its 25th anniversary under the direction of Ankica Juričić, who has led it since its beginning.
