Join Klapa Bošket from Croatia and Windsor’s Klapa Kartolina for an evening of authentic Dalmatian klapa singing, celebrating the rich musical traditions of Croatia.
Klapa Bošket, a four-time winner of the Festival of Dalmatian Klapas in Omiš (FDK), is recognized for its interpretations of both traditional and contemporary klapa repertoire. Joining them is Klapa Kartolina, which has been preserving and sharing Croatian song and culture in Windsor for many years.
Klapa singing, inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, is a unique form of traditional a cappella singing from Dalmatia, known for its close harmonies and emotional expression. Together, the ensembles will present a program that celebrates this treasured musical tradition through songs that reflect the history, culture, and spirit of the Croatian coast.
Whether you are discovering klapa music for the first time or have enjoyed it for years, this concert offers a wonderful opportunity to experience one of Croatia’s most distinctive cultural traditions.
Join us at St. Cecile Academy on Friday, September 18, 2026, 7:00PM for an evening of music, community, and Croatian heritage.
This event is supported by the Središnji državni ured za Hrvate izvan Republike Hrvatske (Central State Office for Croats Abroad). Following the concert, a representative of the Central State Office for Croats Abroad will give a brief presentation on programs, opportunities, and support available to Croatian communities abroad, followed by a question-and-answer session.
