Snježana Zovko, the director of the Mostar Symphony Orchestra, has announced two exceptional concerts to be held in June 2024, emphasizing their significance in celebrating the orchestra's 70th anniversary.
"I am pleased to announce two upcoming concerts that I believe will delight our audience and enhance the celebration of our significant milestone," said the director. "The first concert, titled 'Zemljo moja' (My Homeland), will take place on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at Zrinjevac Park. This concert, organized on the occasion of World Music Day, is our traditional sixth annual event. In collaboration with the ethno-group 'Čuvarice' from Rama, we will perform 15 ethno-compositions arranged with a touch of rock music. The compositions were written by the Glibo family, and the arrangements are by Damir Bunoza, who will also conduct the concert. Through music and visual effects, the concert will evoke the rich Croatian cultural heritage of the Rama region."
"Our second concert, 'Tribute to Gipsy Kings,' will be held on Sunday, June 30, 2024, at Kantarevac Stadium," continued the director. "This concert is part of our program marking 70 years of existence and activity of the Mostar Symphony Orchestra. Around 40 musicians from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia will gather on stage. The soloists will include Antonija Batinić, Karla Jovanović, Nenad Tomičić, Oliver Bevanda, and Ivica Zovko, accompanied by flamenco guitarists Cvijetin Cole Trifković and Dragan Nikolić from Valjevo. The arrangements have been prepared by Toni Toplan from Sarajevo, and the concert will be conducted by maestro Ivan Hut from Dubrovnik. This concert presents a unique, internationally renowned story sung in the flamenco style, enriched with symphonic arrangements."
"The concert 'Zemljo moja' starts at 9:00 PM and admission is free, while tickets for the 'Tribute to Gipsy Kings' concert, also starting at 9:00 PM, can be purchased for 30 KM via Entrio. I invite all music enthusiasts to join us and enjoy these special musical events," concluded the director.
Through these concerts, the Mostar Symphony Orchestra aims to provide diverse musical experiences, catering to different musical tastes and generations, and to dignify their 70 years of existence.
