The choir has been led by prominent Croatian musicians Mladen Jagust, Dusko Praselj, Lovro Zupanovic, Adalbert Markovic, Dinko Fio, Vladimir Kranjcevic and Sasa Britvic.

It has performed under the baton of the biggest Croatian and international conductors, including Lovro Matacic, Milan Horvat, Zubin Mehta, Sir Yehudi Menuhin, Krzysztof Penderecki, Lorin Maazel, Ennio Morricone, Noam Sheriff, Gerd Albrecht, Kazushi Ono, Alun Francis, Hans Graf, Kurt Masur, Dmitri Kitayenko, Valery Gergiev and Sir Neville Marriner.

The soloists who sang with the choir include such legends as Vladimir Ruzdjak, Ruza Pospis - Baldani, Ruggiero Raimondi, Jose Carreras, Andrea Bocelli, Inva Mula and many others.
