What is the Serbian Singing Federation?
The Serbian Singing Federation is a non-profit organization, founded for the
purpose of organizing, developing and coordinating the efforts of its member
choirs through festivals, conventions, choral workshops, scholarship funds
and recordings.
Although the SSF cooperates with the Serbian Orthodox Church on a national
basis and all of our churches on a local level, it is a separate, non-profit
organization.
Through its choirs the SSF seeks to perpetuate among
Americans and Canadians of Serbian descent the priceless cultural heritage
of their church and secular music.
What are the purposes of the Serbian Singing Federation?
The SSF strives to:
- encourage, foster, and assist in organizing and developing Serbian Singing
Societies and choirs
- publish and distribute Serbian music for use of its member choirs
- encourage and perpetuate the Serbian language, religion, music, dancing,
and other Serbian folk arts
- provide entertainment and cultural activities among American and Canadians
of Serbian descent
- provide scholarships for talented and deserving students desiring the
specialize in choral music
- contribute to the moral, cultural, and spiritual uplift and development of
American and Canadians of Serbian descent
