The 3rd Christmas Music Festival of 2018 included 22 participating choirs and vocal ensembles. This year, for the first time, we also had international participants from Hungary and Austria who requested to be a part of this magical Advent in Zagreb.

The Festival’s opening performance was by the Hungarian Choir of the University of Pécs (under the guidance of Dean of the Academy of Music and Visual Arts, Prof. Dr. Tamas Lakner) and the Chamber Choir of the Music Academy of the University of Zagreb (under the guidance of Prof. Jasenka Ostojic). A rich and varied program with performances from klapa (vocal singing in Dalmatia), a Gregorian chant, a concert at the Dverce Palace dedicated to the Countess Buratti, a children’s concert of elementary schools in the Ethnographic Museum and concert of various music schools at the Mimara Museum, performances of the best choirs from the Croatian Cultural Association’s Competition, to the concert of vocal ensemble Jane. All of them gave beautiful moments of music to our audience.

See you in 2019!
