Tetovo Choir
The tradition goes on
 The tradition of choral singing in Tetovo
is as old as this century. It is going on. The choirs in
Tetovo live, they work successfully.
In the House of Culture "Iljo Anteski Smok", Children O
choir, Female youth choir and Chamber choir have been working
continuously since 1977.
The Youth mixed choir of the House of Culture with these
members and the conductor Vlado Srbinovski has existed since
1990. This Choir had its first performance at the Choral
festival in Tetovo in 1991. In 1993 it had the most successful
performance and evening dedicated to the composer Dragan
Suplevski, and then at Tetovo Choir Festival TEHO í95.
It took part in the festival of children and youth choirs
in Kavadarci in 1992, 1994 and 1996 where it was pronounced
for the best in its category. The Youth mixed choir participated
in the International Competition "Georgi Dimitrov" in Varna,
Republic of Bulgaria, where, in spite of the great competition,
it achieved excellent results. In 1996 the Youth Mixed Choir
of the House of Culture won the second place and the prize
for artistic interpretation at the International Choir Competition ìFelix
Mendelssohn - Bartoldy in Dautphetal - Germany.
In 1997, again on an international level, it won the bronze
medallion at the International Choir Competition ìBedzih
Smetanaî in Litomysl - Chezh Republic, and was very successful
at the Festival in Celje - Slovenia.
 The Choir took part in the International Festival ìOhrid
Summerî in the town of Ohrid - Macedonia together with the
Macedonian philharmonic orchestra in the summer 1997. The
Choir had another performance with the Philharmonic orchestra
in the town of Tetovo and TV promotion.
The Choir has already had contacts with the Youth Choir
at the American University in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria.
This Choir has held traditional New Year's concerts in Tetovo
and annual concerts in the town and in other towns of the
Republic of Macedonia.
 The choir with its rich repertoire, the members and the
conductor have managed to be noticed everywhere and any time
they have performed, as a result of the hard work and carefully
chosen and prepared repertoire. They perform compositions
by Orlando Di Laso, Bruckner, Paserau, Mozart, Chaikovski,
Gershwin, Macedonian composers Stojan Stojkov, Dragan Suplevski,
Todor Skalovski, Mihajlo Nikolovski, Aleksandar Lekovski.
Its concert programme includes arias from the operas "Nabuko" and "Travijata" by
Verdi, "Carmen" by Bise, and "Misa Criola" by Ariel Ramirez
which was performed for the first time in Macedonia by this
choir.
Behind all the achievements of the Youth mixed choir at
the House of Culture "Iljo Anteski Smok" from Tetovo is the
hard work of the conductor Vlado Srbinovski, solo singer,
art professor and conductor, and also the help and engagement
of the House of Culture. |
