Our story

Culture that connects

The NGO Kap kulture from Ulcinj has for years organized musical, educational and choral events that unite artists from the region and all of Europe.

Bridges through music

Bridges through music

Our approach

Every project of ours is built around a single idea: culture and music must be accessible to everyone. The Zvuci sa rive festival achieves this through themed evenings of diverse genres, expert seminars for conductors and teachers, children’s opera programs and a joint performance of all participating choirs under a single conductor. Concerts take place on open-air stages along the Ulcinj coast and within the Old Town, and each season includes commissioning new arrangements that preserve the local heritage. Our relationship with guest artists is based on equal collaboration, without a competitive spirit.

Education through practice

Alongside the concerts, we organize expert seminars where conductors, teachers and choral-music lovers prepare compositions for public performance in a short time. This form of non-formal education provides concrete skills and direct performance experience, making it valuable for beginners and experienced musicians alike. Young artists thus get a space to learn and perform in the same place.

Preserving local heritage

Preserving local heritage

Every year we commission and perform new choral arrangements of traditional Ulcinj songs, such as the well-known piece Erë e lehtë, as well as original compositions dedicated to the town’s historical figures. In this way choral music becomes a living bridge between past and present, and the local cultural heritage takes on a new, contemporary form before audiences from across the region.

Togetherness without borders

Togetherness without borders

The most emotional part of our festival is the formation of a large joint choir in which all participating ensembles sing selected pieces together. This non-competitive concept attracts choirs from Montenegro, the region and all of Europe, who perform side by side regardless of origin or musical tradition. The result is a unique experience that audiences and performers remember long after the festival ends.
