Tuzla concert hall named after composer Asim Horozić

A concert hall within the newly constructed primary and secondary music school building in Tuzla has been officially named the “Asim Horozić” Concert Hall. The naming honors the prominent Bosnian-Herzegovinian composer, known for creating the country’s first national opera, “Hasanaginica”.

A ceremony organized by the Ministry of Education and Science of Tuzla Canton marked the occasion. Ahmed Omerović, the Minister of Education and Science, stated that this is the first phase of an initiative to honor Professor Horozić’s legacy, with future plans to potentially rename the music school itself after him.

Haris Horozić, the composer’s son, attended the event and expressed his gratitude to the music school leadership. Jasmin Hasić, Director of the Tuzla Primary Music School, emphasized that the tribute recognizes Horozić’s significant contributions to the promotion of Bosnian-Herzegovinian culture and his role as a former educator at the institution.
