Fifty years ago, in 1974, the “Ansambli Skënderbeu” was established. Its origins trace back to the name “24 Tetori,” a date that also marks the liberation of Korça.
This ensemble was created to showcase the folkloric, instrumental, and choreographic traditions, as well as the costumes and customs of the Korça region, which is renowned for its rich cultural heritage.
Some of the early names associated with the ensemble include Gjergji Pema, Gëzim Kacelli, and Engjëll Tërshana, who significantly enhanced the artistic life.
Today, the ensemble continues to preserve these traditions, presenting Korça’s culture both nationally and internationally, and has received various titles and medals for its contributions.
