Serbian Choral Society Melbourne

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

The Serbian Choral Society (SCS) is a Melbourne based ‘a cappella’ mixed chorus, devoted to presenting the most beautiful works of the Serbian choral classical music (both sacred and secular) to the wider Australian audience, as well as to performing traditional Serbian folk songs.
Professor Sanja Drljaca is the Conductor and Artistic Director of SCS. The SCS evolved from and traces its origins from the choir ‘Balkan Voices’, which Sanja formed in February 2000 as a female octet.

The SCS aims to bring Serbian culture to a wider audience in Australia, to encourage the practice of choral singing within the Serbian community and to collaborate with other ethnically-based choirs in Australia in exchange of cultural heritage.
The repertoire of the SCS is not confined only to Serbian music; it includes influences from other nations which occupied the same geographic space in the Balkans, and beyond.

The SCS held a very successful concert in November 2013 at the Melba Hall in Melbourne, to great acclaim of Serbian and Australian audience. It performed on various occasions for Australian audiences, the Maslenica festival, Multicultural Church Music Festival, Melbourne Eisteddfod Choral Festival, with KUD Kolo, at The Boite, etc.
