8th International Song Festival "Sing in Split"
The international song festival SING(in)SPLIT is the first initiative of its kind in Split (Croatia), which aims to gather, monitor, host and document different sung idioms: traditional, classical and contemporary sung achievements. The first edition of the Festival was realized in June 2018, and during the four festival days, the people of Split and numerous visitors to the city could enjoy the performances of choirs, ensembles, klapas, folk singers and Croatian soloists. Successful performances continued for a number of years, and this year the festival celebrated its 7th anniversary. This year's festival, organized by Schola cantorum Split and Camerata Vocale Split, started with the traditional Spli’ski klaparel in co-organization with the Ventula klapa. This was followed by performances by Musica Vocale Wageningen in Zadar and Split, and the final evening of the festival was hosted by Panda Van Proosdij (Netherlands) and her workshop Voice and Physique: a new approach to the choir movement. Entrance to all events was free. The importance of this festival has been recognized by numerous state, county and city organizations that sponsor it. Festival is preparing events for the next year as well. Spli'ski klaparel is already confirmed and the organizers are working on the rest of the programme.
