description This study explores the music and performers from Kosovo at some prominent Yugoslav art music festivals between the 1950s and 1980s. During this period, the evolution of art music in Kosovo experienced significant progress, reflecting broader cultural developments mirroring patterns in other Yugoslav countries. Kosovo’s art music, alongside the creativity and performances of various ensembles, both choral and orchestral, managed to integrate into the larger multinational cultural community within Yugoslavia, particularly through participation in diverse music festivals. By examining these processes, this study underscores the complex and multifaceted nature of Albanian cultural representation at Yugoslav music festivals, categorized into distinct aspects: popular heritage and musical amateurism, semi-professional and professional ensembles, and works by Kosovo composers that contributed to the shaping of Kosovo’s creative musical identity.
