Donum was founded in 2010 in Varaždin, on the iniciative of Sofija Cingula, who gathered young, educated musicians from St. Nicholas’s Church. Sofija Cingula was the first leader of vocal group, after whom (in 2013) Višlav Jaklin, organist of the Varaždin Cathedral, took her place. The group performed renowned concerts in Croatia, Slovenia and Austria, out of which the most significant was the one in 2014, when 14 of them, under the name Chamber choir Donum, performed Bach’s Christmas Oratorio.
