Sevdalinka Choir

Established to preserve the basic values of the Bosnian urban songs, Choir Sevdalinka strives to contribute to the culture of acceptance amongst members of the local community.

Performing in various languages and participating in workshops, we maintain a strong focus on socialising and entertaining, hosting concerts that join communities and values. Open to all members of the community, our work seeks sources of inspiration and interpretation.

Our membership comprises of men and women, aged 50-70 years old. For years, Grattan Community Centre has been a central point of inspiration and preserving the spirit. 

Currently, have 23 members including a conductor, Secretary and Treasurer. Depending on the need, we acquire individuals from the community to assist the Committee in organising concerts, communicating with other groups, gathering notes and songs. Work and positions are voluntary.
