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.
