In October 2024, the Aurin Girls’ Choir travelled to Montenegro for the very first time to participate in the 9th International Choral Competition held annually in Herceg Novi. The artistic director of the festival, Jelena Cvetkovic, is a long-time friend of ours who invited us to this beautiful coastal town. <\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||7px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]Our connection with Jelena goes back years, from chance meetings in Paralia to collaborations in the Vox Mundi Erasmus+ project. Her invitation meant not only a professional opportunity, but a joyful reunion and continued friendship.<\/p>\n At the competition, the Aurin Girls’ Choir won First Prize in its category. Besides the contest, we had the chance to explore the charming town of Herceg Novi. Although the weather wasn’t always on our side, sunshine broke through during our sightseeing, casting a magical light on the city. Unfortunately, the Bay of Kotor could only be admired through rain-soaked bus windows, but the charm of Herceg Novi made up for it.<\/p>\n One of the most memorable moments of the trip was our open-air concert in the town\u2019s main square. As the performance began, heavy rain fell -but soon the sun came out, and the street filled with an enthusiastic audience. This journey was not only about musical achievement, but also about friendship, shared experiences, and the unifying power of music.<\/p>\n The Aurin Girls\u2019 Choir\u2019s contemporary music tour in Montenegro was supported in 2024 by the Hungarian Academy of Arts (Magyar M\u0171v\u00e9szeti Akad\u00e9mia).[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.aurin-choir.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/MMAlogoC_1_ketsoros.jpg” title_text=”MMAlogoC_1_ketsoros” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”200px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.aurin-choir.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Montenegro_2024_03_small.jpg” title_text=”Montenegro_2024_03_small” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.aurin-choir.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Montenegro_2024_01_small.jpg” title_text=”Montenegro_2024_01_small” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.aurin-choir.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Montenegro_2024.04_small.jpg” title_text=”Montenegro_2024.04_small” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_post_nav _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”|600|||||||” title_text_color=”#963397″ title_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In October 2024, the Aurin Girls’ Choir travelled to Montenegro for the very first time to participate in the 9th International Choral Competition held annually in Herceg Novi.
