Folk ensemble "Filip Devic" was founded in 1950. Since then more than 8,000 of our members have participated in preserving Croatian national heritage by bringing back to life old customs, songs and dances.

In our rich history we held some 2,500 concerts in Croatia and all around the world. There isn't a country in Europe which we didn't visit, and as for the rest of the world, we saw Turkey, Australia and New Zealand. The dearest performances to us are those for Croats living abroad, in this way we make it possible for them to feel the spirit of their homeland, if just for a while.

We took part in many International festivals of folklore with considerable success. In 1970, we came home with a golden medal for folk dancing from Middlesbrough, England where an International Festival was held. Later, in 1984. we won a Grand Prix from both the audience and experts in Poland.

During the war in Croatia we held over 100 humanitarian concerts given for those who needed it most: our children, refugees and war invalids.
