Children's Church Choir “St. Sava”

The children’s church choir “Saint Sava” was founded in Loznica (Serbia) with the blessing of the local church “The Protecting Veil of the Most Holy Theotokos”. The choir was founded by professor Mr. Dragan Djedovic who has directed it ever since. The choir cherishes the religious compositions of Serbian and Russian authors and it performs traditional Serbian songs as well. The repertoire also contains some works of artistic music, and their performance of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” on the last “Vukov Sabor” was very successful and outstanding. Many TV and Radio channels recorded their performance and song “Hey, Jule Log”. The choir sings in Church Slavonic, Serbian, Greek, Russian, English, Indonesian, German and Macedonian.
