Serbian Amateur Choir Pop Hor Expands, Bringing Joy and Community Amidst Political Tensions
An amateur pop choir named Pop Hor, which began with a small group of singers in a Serbian town, has rapidly expanded across the country. Founded by Nenad Azanjac and his wife, the choir operates on the principle that anyone can sing, welcoming individuals from ages 5 to 105 without requiring auditions or musical knowledge. The choir's approach focuses on stress relief and joy, attracting hundreds of participants, predominantly women. Since its inception four years ago, Pop Hor has grown to include 10 towns in Serbia, with plans for further expansion. The choir performs popular songs in Serbian and occasionally in Croatian and Bosnian, participating in festivals and events both domestically and internationally.
