World Bass Day

World Bass Day is celebrated on March 30 by (mostly choral) bass singers and their fans around the world.

World Bass Day was officially announced in 1995 by the basses of APZ Tone Tomšič of the University of Ljubljana.

On March 30, 1995, maestro Stojan Kuret recognized, with the famous saying “The first are the basses, and then looong nothing!”, the place that historically belongs to the basses. This recognition heralded the end of the millennial life of the basses at the bottom of the choral social scale and the beginning of their unstoppable march into the depths.
