About us<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\u201cWhat we say about God, we say in song\u201d<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The Church Choral Society \u201cBranko\u201d was founded in Ni\u0161 on 1 September 1887 and is named after Branko Radi\u010devi\u0107, a poet of Serbian Romanticism. Ever since, it has served without interruption alongside the Bishop of Ni\u0161 and the clergy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Between the two World Wars, the choir carried the fame of Serbian choral music throughout the Balkans. It sang at the enthronements of Patriarch Pavle and Patriarch Irinej in Pe\u0107, and in 2017, marking 130 years of existence, it was awarded the Order of St Sava, First Class, and the Gold Medal for Merit of the Republic of Serbia.<\/p>\n\t\t
