Serbian Singing Society Gracanica

Serbian Singing Society Gracanica Serbian Singing Society Gracanica from Windsor, Ontario. In 1945, a group of young Serbs organized the first Serbian Youth Club of Windsor.

These young people held meetings at the Serbian Hall on Drouillard Road in hopes of preserving their religion, culture and traditions. Their purpose was to unite the Serbian youth in Windsor, promote educational endeavours, organize athletic and recreational activities and assist the Serbian Orthodox congregation. Srbadija, as this group was known, spent many evenings and weekends in that little h

all. On Sundays, the little hall was transformed into a church; a portable iconostasis and temporary altar were set up in front of the stage while the hall itself became the nave of the church. Father Djuro Vuckovic approached this circle of friends with a request for them to sing responses in church. They gladly accepted this honour and began informal rehearsals. It was not until the spring of 1949 that the Serbian Singing Society Gracanica (S.S.S. Gracanica) formed under the directorship of Nada Alaica. Since 1945 until now, Gracanica Choir continues in strong numbers to sing responses in church every Sunday and special holidays. The Choir traditionally performs at the Annual S.S.F. Festival, and has hosted a number of Festivals in the past. In addition the choir travels to other Serbian communities to perform as Guests at their Concerts. Also Gracanica Choir hosts an Annual Fall concert with a Serbian Choir from another colony performing as guest choir with appearances by our neighbours S.S.S. Ravanica from Detroit

A number of Gracanica Choir members have held key positions on the board of the Serbian Singing Federation of the USA and Canada (Srpski Pevacki Savez), including President, Executive Secretary, Treasurer and Audit board member.
