Dear Singers,

The 69^th Annual SSF Festival is fast approaching.  As you know by now, the festival this year will be held together with the Serbian Orthodox Choral Association. The festival is called ‘One Love Serbian Song - Jedna Ljubav Srpska Pesma’.   We are encouraged by the positive responses received from choirs from both organizations. We are equally grateful for the support received from both parishes where the weekend’s events will be held.  It is our hope that all who participate in this festival, whether as singers or as guests, will truly embrace our theme for the weekend. The ‘One Love’ that we all share is our love for our Orthodox Faith, together with our love for our Serbian music…sacred and secular
