Biography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Novi Sad Jewish Community Choir Hashira (the Hebrew word hashira means the song) was founded in 1993 and since then, it has been dedicated to cherishing Jewish synagogal and folklore music heritage. However, the choir performs almost every kind of choral music, singing in several languages (Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino, Serbian, Spanish…). It has won numerous awards at local and international festivals. Some of them are: two golden medals won at the choral competition in Ruma, a silver medal and the special award for the conductor Vesna Kesic Krsmanovic<\/strong> achieved in Slovakia, a bronze medal from Ohrid, two silver medals won in Italy and Greece, and the silver plaque earned at the Choir competition in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choir continues the tradition of the choir of the same name, which cultivated Jewish sacred and secular music between the two World Wars; the founder and conductor of the re-founded choir was Suzana Gros<\/strong>. That year, competing with 22 individuals and institutions, the Hashira choir received the Medal for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage. The ensemble is distinguished by its great love of choral singing, high musical standard, the harmony among its members and great ambitions for the future. The choir is conducted by Vesna Kesi\u0107 Krsmanovi\u0107<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
