History
The Brodosplit Male Choir was formed in 1972. Their work, program concept, interpretation and characteristic sound have made them one of the top choirs in Croatia. They have a diverse repertoire ranging from renaissance masters to contemporary composers, with an emphasis on their local tradition – folk and concert songs of Dalmatia harmonized and arranged by Croatian composers. The choir has been conducted by renowned teachers and conductors: Daniel Šeparović and Josip Veršić, and since 1988 by composer and conductor Vlado Sunko, full professor at the Academy of Arts in Split. Brodosplit has earned valuable national awards and recognitions, as well as first prizes from international festivals and competitions (first prize in Budapest in 1991 and in Prague in 2002, gold medal at the World Choir Games in Xiamen, China in 2006, Olympic championship at the Choir Olympics in Linz in 2000 and the champions of World Choir Games in Graz in 2008, two gold medals and absolute winners of the Canta al mar competition in Spain in 2012, two gold plaques and the special award from the Robert Schumann competition in Zwickau in 2014). In the Leevi Madetoja International Competition for Male Choirs in Finland in 2010 Brodosplit won the third place as the first non-Baltic choir in the competition history. The choir has been awarded by the Republic of Croatia for its extraordinary contribution to culture. They have recorded about ten albums.
