The story

Zlatna Vila Choir Festival in Prijedor

An international choral competition in Prijedor, reviving an 1885 church choir tradition since 2001 and drawing over a hundred choirs from across Europe over its run. Performances run as concert blocks in the city's theatre and cultural venues, suiting travelers interested in a genuinely international choral lineup rather than a single local concert.

Prijedor's choir festival traces its name to a Serbian Orthodox church choir society called Vila, founded in Prijedor in 1885, and its modern festival form dates only to 2001, when the choral tradition was revived after being interrupted for decades.
