Music of Vojvodina

The music of Vojvodina is played by such organizations as the Opera of the Serbian National Theatre, an orchestra, the Tamburitza Orchestra of Radio Television of Vojvodina, the National String Orchestra, Zlatna Tamburica, the Association of Serbian Singing Groups, Oj Dunave, Dunave Plavi, the Academy of the Arts in Novi Sad and the Muzička Omladina youth organization.

Since at least the 19th century, Vojvodina has had a vibrant choral tradition. Some of the best-known choruses include "Koča Kolarov" (from Zrenjanin), and "Isidora Sekulić" (from Novi Sad).

Vojvodina has produced a well-known composer in Josif Marinković (1851 - 1931) from Vranjevo. He wrote Romantic-influenced pieces for choruses with accompaniment by a piano, as well as hymns and theatrical music. Marinković used some elements of Serbian folk music in these compositions. Another composer from Vojvodina was Isidor Bajić, who also studied the area's folk music and founded the Serbian Music Magazine.

Modern musicians from Vojvodina include Pera Petrović, a violinist and singer.

The traditional music of Vojvodina forms a kind of continuum with the folk music of Romania in the east, the folk music of Hungary in the north, the folk music of Slavonia (Croatia) in the west, and the folk music of Central Serbia in the south. There is also some difference between the traditional music in various parts of Vojvodina, as well as the difference between the music of various ethnic groups in the region.
