About Svatobor

The Mixed choir Svatobor is based in Susice, a town situated in southwest Bohemia on the Otava river. It was founded in 1860 and originally named Saint Wenceslas Choir. In 1921 it was renamed to Svatobor.

The choir sings European folk songs as well as secular and spiritual compositions by old masters and contemporary authors.
