Conductor Ivan Josip Skender and Media-Via editor PhD. Vesna Srnić

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Ivana Brlić Mažuranić Concert and Theater Hall in Slavonski Brod, the Zagreb ensemble Cantus performed three contemporary compositions on 27th February, 2022 in its world-renowned style:

Berislav Šipuš – Četiri pjesme sjećanja / Four songs of remembrance
Ivana Kiš – na na na na
Krešimir Seletković – Suita iz baleta Air / Air Ballet Suite

Conductor: Ivan Josip Skender

Concentration and integrity were holistically woven in demanding sections of aleatory, atonal and asymmetrical music. In other parts mixed-media synaesthetically sounds like those in action or animated films… In moments when the World is buzzing with low frequencies, this music is a gift with its enthusiastic art both when it thunders and when the muses whisper.
