The St. Nicholas Choir was established in 1964. The choir came into existence in 1964 under the leadership of President Jovo Borovich and the capable directorship of Slavko Zubac. The choir had a humble beginning, singing responses to the Holy Liturgy held at the Queen’s hall, a temporary home which was donated by Mrs. Milica Chelar and Mr. Marko Chelar.  The choir has continuously sang responses to the Holy Liturgy at our now, St. Nicholas Cathedral since consecration in 1965.

At the 2015 Annual SSF Choral Festial Protinica Mira was a 50 Year Pin recipent and was recognized for selflessly dedicating her time and talent to directing the St. Nicholas Choir and for going above and beyond! 

The choir holds annual concerts where we host choirs from other Serbian Church communities. They often represent their community by singing events hosted by other communities.  The St. Nicholas Cathedral Choir continues to uphold the SSF mission to help perpetuate and promote the cultural, liturgical and ethnic music of our Serbian forefathers.
