Conversations about music and poetry
Saturday, March 1, is dedicated to the brilliant Croatian composer Dora Pejačević (1885-1923), who already at the age of twelve showed an affinity for music, starting with composing miniatures for piano and piano and violin. Pejačević then composed songs, and also tried her hand at composing chamber and orchestral works. Pejačević is important for Croatian musical history because, along with Blagoje Bersa and Josip Hatze, she contributed to the establishment of Croatian musical modernity.
In honor of the great Dora Pejačević, a promotion of the book “Dora Pejačević. Lives and Worlds” by the author of Zadar roots, Domagoj Marić, will be held on Saturday. This talented writer is responsible for a large number of scientific and professional works in musicology, linguistics and cultural diplomacy, and this time he brings readers a monograph dedicated to documenting Dora's life and her rich musical legacy. The book's reviewer is Nada Bezić, and excerpts from the book will be read by actress Tamara Šoletić.
The book promotion will take place starting at 7 pm in the Versatile Hall of the Provirur's Palace with free admission, while at 8 pm the book promotion will be followed by a concert by the Zagreb Quartet and pianist Ivan Krpan in the Bersa Brothers Concert Hall of the Rector's Palace, who will perform some of the most beautiful works by Dora Pejačević for this special occasion.
Zagreb Quartet was founded back in 1919 as the first permanent and professional ensemble of its kind on the Croatian music scene. The members of the quartet at the time, professors at the Zagreb Conservatory, were Václav Huml, first violin, Milan Graf, second violin, Ladislav Škatula (later Miranov), viola and Umberto Fabbri, cello. At the very beginning of its activities, the Zagreb Quartet established high performance criteria that still make it the backbone of Zagreb and Croatian quartet music today. The concert in honor of composer Dora Pejačević will feature Martin Krpan and Davor Philips on violin, Hrvoje Philips on viola and Martin Jordan on cello.
Ivan Krpan is a Croatian pianist born in Zagreb in 1997. At the age of six, he began studying piano with Prof. Renate Strojin Richter at the Blagoje Bersa Music School, and successfully completed his piano studies at the Zagreb Academy of Music in the class of Prof. Ruben Dalibaltayan. It should be noted that during his education and studies, Krpan won numerous awards at national and international competitions, and performed at concerts in Croatia and in foreign countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Russia. Another achievement of Krpan worth mentioning is his victory at the 61st International Piano Competition “Ferruccio Busoni” in 2017.
Admission to the book promotion is free, and tickets for the concert can be obtained online or on weekdays at the Providur's Palace info desk from 11 am to 1 pm and from 6 pm to 8 pm on February 27 and 28, while on the day of the program, on March 1 sales will be made one hour before the program starts (from 6 pm).
