World Bass Day

thumb
World Bass Day is a special holiday dedicated to bass singers in recognition of their deep voices, their profound commitment, and the fundamental role they hold in every choir, vocal group, and band. World Bass Day was established in 1995 and is celebrated every year on March 30.
History
On March 30, 1995 renowned impresario, choir conductor and researcher maestro Stojan Kuret remarked that "the basses are first, then nothing for a mile", while conducting a rehearsal of in Ljubljana, Slovenia. As the choir was then (and still is) one of the best choirs in the world (multiple winner of European Grand Prix for Choral Singing, recipient of many other choir singing awards), the remark energized the bass section of the choir and it was decided to remember that special moment by celebrating March 30 as Bass Day.
The Institute for Bass Sciences (IBS) was founded in 1996 to establish, promote, and deepen the science of bass singing. IBS took over the proceedings of World Bass Day celebrations and is the official authority for World Bass Day.
Celebrations
World Bass Day is celebrated each year for a week leading to March 30 with festive symposiums, bass sciences research presentations, and of course singing. The celebrations are not limited to bass singers, as other voices recognize the supremacy and profondità of basses, and are honored to participate in the festivities of this special day. The main message of the World Bass Day celebrations is that everything but bass is overtones.
