A concert that will move you, make you happy, rejuvenate and fill you with good energy!
This time, the already traditional concert given by the Symphony Orchestra of the Zagreb Academy of Music in the Saturday at Lisinski concert series will take place under the motto "Divertimento – Music of Joy!” In line with the lyrics of the famous student song Gaudeamus igitur – "Let us rejoice while we are young”, the spirit of youth, enthusiasm, cheerfulness and a good time at this concert will be guaranteed not only by the excellent student orchestra, but also by an attractive program! In keeping with the program concept of the entire evening, the concert will begin with Divertimento by Bruno Bjelinski, the good spirit of Croatian music, who imbued his compositions with sun rays, infinite happiness, sublime beauty and pure poetry. The iconic Gershwin's Concerto in F for Piano and Orchestra and Bernstein's legendary Symphonic Dances from the musical West Side Story are on the same track of primordial musicality and bright, joyful tonal colours that will fill our body with serotonin and start the spirit with good vibrations. Both pieces belong to the most beautiful pages of the world's orchestral literature, in which we encounter echoes of jazz, entrancing rhythms of hot southern dances full of energy (Mambo!), but also great love passions (Somewhere!) from West Side Story! It's wonderful to see the New York skyline of the last century again in a synesthetic experience of syncopated music from Manhattan, where the Jets and the Sharks fight, dance enthusiastically and love! Both Bernstein and Gershwin were masters of orchestration and brilliant composers full of spirit who wrote extremely entertaining music! This 'joy project' will take place under the baton of famous conductor, Professor at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, Eitan Globerson. As a kind of bonus, the young artists will perform Scherzos and Serenades by one of the most famous living Israeli composers - Yinam Leef.
