Abstract
Vladimir Kranjčević (1936–2020), a conductor and a musical pedagogue, has left an outstanding mark on the interpretation of classical music in Croatia. Although born in Zagreb, his engagement in the field of musical arts in Križevci earned him the title of an honorary citizen of that town. There, he performed classical music concerts and enabled a high-quality work of the Music School of Albert Štriga, Križevci. In addition to Kranjčević’s biography, this article lays out his contribution to the founding and popularisation of musical-vocal ensembles with which Kranjčević raised Križevci to the status of a significant place for performing works in the category of classical music during the second half of the 20th century.
