Music School “Petar Konjović”

Music School “Petar Konjović”

The building housing the Music school was built in 1906 in the style of Hungarian secession. The Choral Society of Sombor was founded in 1870 and under its patronage the Music School “Petar Konjović” was set up in 1921. The act was signed by Branislav Nušić, the then Headmaster of the internal department of the Ministry of Education in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The School has developed into a permanently present educational, public and cultural institution in the city. By its name, the music school has preserved the memory of Petar Konjović, our fellow citizen and founder of the opera art in Serbia. As an ever-present contributor to the musical, cultural and educational life of Sombor and the Western-Bačka County, the school has been promoting quality music and high aesthetic and moral values among the children and the young.
