Author describes in the introductory section his trans-Atlantic voyage, arrival in the USA, initial difficulties with finding employment, and his settlement among the new immigrants in Cleveland, Ohio. The idea for a choral group came out of desire and necessity to provide for the new immigrants a focused environment in the new land. Thus, a singing society offered many newcomers an opportunity to continue Slovene choral and cultural traditions in an ethnically rich metropolitan area. The main themes of this article are the founding, annual concerts, and other performances of the Singing Society Korotan in the years 1951 to 1962. In addition, the author provides insights into Korotan’s contributions to the multinational festivities, TV appearances, and performances on the Voice of America. This article about Korotan activities and successes, from the author’s perspective, offers indirectly also a look at the cultural life of the Cleveland Slovene community during this period.

After arriving in Argentina during the period between the two world wars and after World War Two, Slovene emigrants, unless they were highly sought-after skilled craftsmen, technicians or had a university education, were forced to take any job they were offered and start on the lowest rung of the social ladder. To prevent their children from having to start their careers in the same way that they had had to, they strove for, and continue to strive for, their professional education. These efforts have been highly successful. Among the postwar political emigrants alone, more than 700 people graduated from university over a period of 48 years, after arriving in Argentina.
