Mladinski Pevski Zbor

Mladinski Pevski Zbor was organized in 1934 when it became evident that the children at the Slovenian Workmen's Home's Slovenian School were far more interested in music than the Slovenian language - 160 showed up for the first rehearsal. Accompanied by their own orchestra, the chorus tackled concerts, plays, operettas; musicals, variety shows, and even an annual circus. Milestone performances included a combined concert broadcast from SNPJ's 1937 convention, an appearance at Pittsburgh's Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall in 1939, Slovenian language productions such as "Vesna" (1936) and "Kresna Noc" (1949), and, in a later generation, fare including "Babes in Toyland" (1966), "Sound of Music" (attended by over 1000 in 1969), and "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" (1983). Mladinski Pevski Zbor affiliated with SNPJ in 1971 becoming MPZ, Circle No. 3.
