10 years ago a secret relationship was born between the singers of the Golden Years Ensemble and the people from all over Croatia was born. The relationship has grown over the years and we all look forward to it's development in the years to come.
The things that propels the relationship forward are a pure love for music; the joy of sharing messages only music can convey; love for the fatherland and home; and, the love for all people, their traditions, and cultures.
The Golden Years Ensemble is very fond of its country and its hometown Velika Gorica in Turopolje County. In Turopolje the traditional elements of music, everyday live, clothing, and customs are well preserved. Velika Gorica is located between the two biggest rivers in Croatia (Sava and Kupa), and is the site of the biggest international airport of Croatia.
The repertoire of the Ensemble starts from the classical and sacral music to traditional and modern compositions.
The Ensemble love performing their Christmas concerts which have been delivered in many churches in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Albania, Hungary, but also enjoy singing for people in nursing homes and prisons.
Singers of the Ensemble Golden Years shall always remain amateurs and enthusiasts; “amateur” from Latin, meaning “Those who love”, and “enthusiast” from Greek meaning, “Those with God.”
