Kud plovi ovaj brod? Where does this ship sail?
Ivana Marija Vidović, Croatian concert pianist and poet (on the photo), is the founder and director of the Epidaurus Festival in Cavtat, a beautiful town south-east of the city of Dubrovnik, where she was born. In 2021, the festival is marking its fifteenth anniversary.
We owe her our deep gratitude for great efforts and love, which has connected so many Croatian and foreign artists, especially musicians. The burden of its organization is shared by her mother Franica, as well as by her father, and a small number of faithful colleagues and friends. In 2021, a special guest of the festival will be Radojka Šverko, distinguished Croatian diva.
Poštovani,
ushićena sam da mogu najavit 15. festival Epidaurus u Cavtatu!
To je mali jubilej, a za nas toliko velik i znatan. Toliko je truda, entuzijazma i rada za nama. Ponajviše pregršt predivnih projekata koji su nam doveli većinu vodećih imena iz skoro svih grana umjetnosti u naš čarobni Cavtat. Pored domaćih, zavidan je broj inozemnih umjetnika koji je u proteklih 15 godina sa svojim talentom i umijećem pohodio Cavtat i naš festival. Hvala svima koji su do sada nastupili u sklopu Epidaurus festivala, hvala svim mojim suradnicima bez kojih bi sve moje ideje i želje bile teško ostvarljive. U ova teška doba, kad se u sektoru kulture osjećamo usamljeni i često napušteni, hvala hvalevrijednim potporama i sponzorima koji i dalje čvrsto stoje uz nas i koji su krenuli s nama i na ovogodišnju petnaestu plovidbu.
Festival će u predivnom ambijentu predvorja cavtatskog Kneževa dvora otvoriti sjajna glumica Ksenija Prohaska, prvakinja splitskog HNK sa svojom vrhunskom interpretacijom Marlene Dietrich. Prohaska je Cavtat već očarala pred dvije godine s ulogom Clare Schumann. Uz nju nastupit će darovita Danira Ipavec na harmonici i klaviru.
Plesni studio iz Dubrovnika dovodi nam u Cavtat balerine i ples s krasnim koreografijama…s posvetom Olgi Solovjevoj na novootvorenoj pozornici Ljetnog kina u Cavtatu. Ovogodišnji mladi talenti Epidaurusa predstavit će nam studentice Glazbene akademije u Splitu i to Mariju Kristinu Tomić kao sopranisticu i Anu Kačić Barišić na violini uz uvijek vještu, nepogrešivu pratnju Konavoke Nene Ćorak.
A za kraj?
Za kraj imamo jednu od najvećih hrvatskih pjevačica svih vremena, istinsku divu Radojku Šverko koja je svoje impresivne uspjehe ovoljetne turneje odlučila okrunit baš u zagrljaju rujanskog Cavtata sa svojim vrhunskim glazbenicima uz proslavu 50.godišnjice svoje pobjede na Splitskom festivalu s neodoljivom pjesmom Kud plovi ovaj brod.
Dođite u Cavtat da zajedno “viramo ankoru” našeg broda kako bi zaplovio na moru ljubavi na svoju petnaestu plovidbu.Tu-tu…
S ljubavlju i sa zahvalnošću,

Fantastic concert by
Radojka Šverko in Cavtat, closing the 15th Epidaurus Festival.
Accompanied with a group of seven top musicians from the city of Rijeka, directed by maestro Vladimir Babin (on keyboards on the left).
Vladimir Babin is a professor of piano at the Academy of Music in Zagreb.
Natives and guests of the city of Cavtat, of all ages, enjoing the concert in the open,
under the stars, between the crystal clear sea and the Meštrović Mausoleum (with amazing view to the city of Dubrovnik).
The program covered some of the best known world standards from rock music, jazz, to some classical pieces, as well as
her unforgettable Croatian songs. We should mention in passing that Mrs.
Radojka Šverko is great-grandmother!
