1922, when the position of principal was assumed by dr. Bogdan Milank-
ović. In general, the curriculum of District School of Music encompassed
eight grades, which were divided into three courses, elementary, interme-
diate and upper-level, as separate categories, which broadly correspond-
ed to secondary school grades.24 The school included Vocal, Instrumental
and Theoretical Department, and the high quality of curriculum design
resulted in an enviable number of enrolled students, i.e. as many as 186
students in the first generation.
In the second year of work, from 1921/1922 academic year, District
School of Music began to organize public concerts, where the best students
had the opportunity to present themselves. However, the most significant
fact is that District School of Music employed the best educated musicians
in Sarajevo, some of whom deserved credit for the development of all as-
pects of musical life in Sarajevo and BiH. Individuals such as Bogdan Mi-
lanković, Ljubomir Bajc, Klemens Menšik, Beluš Jungić and Franjo Topić
made up the backbone of musical life of the time, since no professional, ex-
clusively music institution existed in BiH before the establishment of Dis-
trict School of Music, nor was there a regular concert season.25 Consequent-
ly, concert activity mostly depended on the School’s teaching staff. School
teachers and guests performed in the hall of cinema Imperijal under the
name Philharmonic Association of District School of Music, and the as-
sociation was actually the forerunner of Sarajevo Philharmonic Orchestra
founded in 1923.
