​The Baruch Brothers Choir from Belgrade was founded in 1879 as the Serbian Jewish Singing Society. Eminent researchers claim that it is the oldest Jewish choir in the world. It changed its name to its current name in 1952, in memory of three brothers from the famous Baruch Jewish family from Belgrade, who died in the pogroms at the beginning of World War II. During its many years of work, the choir performed numerous concerts in all important music centers of Yugoslavia, while foreign guest appearances were performed all over the world, from Europe and Asia to concerts at Carnegie Hall in New York in 1978. The Baruch Brothers Choir is a regular participant in all the most important classical music festivals in the country and abroad, from which it regularly brings a number of awards and recognitions for its work. The choir was awarded twice by the Presidency of the Republic for its contribution to the cultural affirmation of the country, and it was led by some of the most important figures from the history of our artistic music. The choir's conductor, Stefan Zekić, and the choir's president, Branka Cvejić Mezei, are responsible for the extraordinary success that the choir has achieved in the last few years.

The Jewish Chamber Orchestra was founded in 2012 by cellist Ladislav Mezei, in cooperation with the B'nei B'rit Lodge of Serbia, and the members of the orchestra are professional musicians of Jewish origin and their friends. The primary goal of the orchestra is to present the music of Jewish composers, as well as other composers whose works are inspired by Jewish themes, and the orchestra's interpretation is connected with the tradition, culture, and history of the Jewish community in Serbia.
