The University Choir of Novi Sad "Hor Collegium Cantorum" (College Singers Choir in Latin) was formed on 30/10/2008 by SKCNS, Novi Sad University and the International Music Centre.

The driving force behind the creation of the group was choir conductor Mirko Bulovan.

The choir currently numbers around 60 members, male and female, all students of Novi Sad University. In the first year of its existence, the choir performed at University events (Saint Sava's Academy, University Day) and at events run by SKCNS, such as Ritam Evrope, as well as successfully participating at the International Choir Festival Cantemus 2009.

Contact has been made, and cooperation started, with similar ensembles at Universities in Switzerland, Spain and Norway. Within the framework of international cooperation with the World Choir Federation and European Music Council, the group made its first appearance in Italy in November 2009, participating in the „Musical Scales" event.

The artistic personality of Mirko Bulovan can be neatly summarised by: musicality, suggestiveness and inexhaustible energy. His recognisable and meaningful interpretations of works across all eras and global repertoire with special reference to his own musical backyard have been received with undisguised delight by audiences worldwide. After Music School in his native Split, he completed his studies at the Musical Academy in Belgrade. The shining career of Mirko Bulovan is linked so the „Koca Kolarov" choir from Zrenjanin, which he has worked with since 1969. He has won numerous prizes, almost exclusively placing first in domestic and international choral competitions and festivals. He has worked with many orchestras (in Serbia and abroad), especially in the performance of major vocal-instrumental works (with the Belgrade Philharmonic and Symphony Orchestra of Radio-Television Belgrade) such as Requiem by Cherubini, Missa Brevis by Mozart, Bach's Christmas Oratory and Great Mass in B Minor, and Mahler's Second Symphony and Haydn's „Missa in Tempore Belli" with the Balkan Philharmonic.
