![]() The concluding discussion includes an exploration of musical culture, community and identity. This latter we do through an interview with the director and some illustrative observations of two sisters who are participants in the choir. ![]() In this paper we historically locate the church and choir and describe the present activities of the children’s choir. There has been a choir in this space operating continuously since 1853, The First Belgrade Singing Society, Prvo Beogradsko Pevacko Drustvo (PBPD), and in 1981 the children’s choir (DHPBPD) was founded. ![]() This church occupies an important geographic, political and religious position in the culture of historical Belgrade. This paper contributes to this particular interdisciplinary genre by contextualising and describing a well-known children’s choir in Serbia that practices and performs in the Belgrade Orthodox Cathedral (Saborna Crkva). In 2013 Campbell and Wiggins edited The Oxford handbook of children’s musical cultures which described different musical experiences and diverse child populations across the world.
