Due to its diligent and devoted work, with repertoire including pieces by Croatian and other authors spanning from the Renaissance to the 21st century, the choir reached high quality of interpretation, soon recognized by audience. After many successful performances in Split and the region, the choir started to participate in various national and international choral competitions, having achieved notable results. Thus, the short but interesting history of the choir includes:
- 3rd place at “Croatian Choral Assembly” in 2009 and 2011, and 1st place at this competition in 2010, 2012 and 2013;
- two silver certificates at international choral competition “Slovakia Cantat 2010”;
- awards won at the competition “Cro Patria” (3rd award of the jury in 2010 and 1st award of the audience in 2012);
- two silver medals at World Choir Championships held in Graz in July 2011;
- participation in the 53rd International Sacred Music Festival “Virgo Lauretana” (Loreto, Italy, 2013);
- participation in the 1st edition of the festival “Papandopulijana Tribunj” (Tribunj, Croatia, 2013);
- international collaborations with Latvian mixed choir “Swedbank koris“ (2010), Slovenian male choir “Primorski akademski zbor Vinko Vodopivec“ (2010, 2012), Slovakian mixed choir “Miešaný zbor Žilina” (2012) and Swedish mixed choir “Hässelby Motettkör“ (2014).
