As an introduction to the season, the South Bohemian Philharmonic Orchestra visited Zadar in September, followed by Mia Pečnik, a pianist who was awarded the title of the best young Croatian musician in 2020.

With each new concert season, the subscription concert cycle hosts musicians, ensembles, orchestras and soloists of the highest artistic acclaim. The grand opening is scheduled for October 4th. The Zadar Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of the chief conductor Ivan Repušić, celebrates its 60th anniversary, with Roman and Milena Simović as the soloists. This round anniversary is not just a number - six decades ago Zadar launched the Musical Evenings in Sv. Donat and the Zadar Chamber Orchestra, two backbones of musical life that today attract and bring together to a greater extent than ever. The cycle closes on June 19 with a concert by the Munich Philharmonic Octet, an ensemble composed of prominent soloists from one of the world's leading orchestras.

In addition to the opening of the season, the Zadar Chamber Orchestra will have five more concerts in its own cycle, with guest conductors and soloists, while the cycle Children and Youth, in March will present the program for children.
