Male Choir Planina pri Sevnici

Founded in 1969, this Slovenian male choir has been continuously operating for 56 years as a volunteer nonprofit cultural association, currently consisting of 18 singers, nearly half of whom have professional musical training. Each member of the choir is also a local firefighter — they form the Firefighters' Male Choir as well. Their artistic leader since 1992 has been music educator Matej Romih. Milestones include a CD recording in 2013 to commemorate the 140th anniversary of Josip Ipavec's death; a performance for Borut Pahor, the President of Slovenia (2022); and the award for Best Stage Performance at the 59th "Mokranjčevi dani" choir competition held in Negotin, Serbia in 2025.
