The story

Mokranjac Days in Negotin

Mokranjcevi dani, Mokranjac Days, has honored composer Stevan Stojanovic Mokranjac in Negotin every September since 1966. Centered on Natpevavanje horova, a competitive choir singing event, the festival also features concerts by prominent Serbian and international performers, exhibitions, and literary programming, reaching its 59th edition in 2025.

Stevan Stojanovic Mokranjac spent his career weaving Serbian and Balkan folk melodies into formal choral composition, work that made him one of the defining figures of Serbian classical music.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Mokranjac Days ties its programming directly to the legacy of Stevan Stojanovic Mokranjac, the composer closely associated with the Negotin region, and its founding in 1966 built the festival around amateur folklore ensembles selected through village-level eliminations before converging on Negotin for a festive opening procession

02

The mystery stays covered

The centerpiece remains Natpevavanje horova, a competitive choral singing event often described as the festival's crowning feature, in which choirs compete in a format distinct from a standard concert programme

03

The city starts moving

Around that competitive core, the festival has grown to include concerts by well-known Serbian and former Yugoslav performers, appearances by international pianists and choirs, art exhibitions, book promotions, and literary evenings, sponsored in part by Serbia's Ministry of Culture, giving a composer-focused regional festival a broader cultural programme than its choral origins might suggest
