Croatian American Cultural Center
Welcome to San Francisco’s Croatian American Cultural Center, a comprehensive resource for members, patrons, neighbors and friends who belong to our organization, attend our events or rent our wonderful facility. Consider our site a “virtual museum of Croatian culture” in the Bay Area.
The space we’ve created is for the enjoyment of the entire community … from all cultural backgrounds. All are welcome at our Center!
We are VERY EXCITED to announce the first season of our Bay Area Croatian Choir, Val Voices, led by renowned professional vocalist, Astrid Kuljanic. We’ll sing and perform Croatian music in a variety of regional styles. You do not need to be a professional vocalist, speak Croatian, or be Croatian. All singers are welcome!
The Spring season runs from April 8-June 21 with 10 rehearsals and 2 performances. Rehearsals rotate between Wednesday evenings in Berkeley, 6:30-8:30 pm, and Sunday mornings 11:30-1:30 at the Croatian American Cultural Center in San Francisco. Fee: $190
