✨20 years of music, tradition and unforgettable moments✨
The 20th edition of the Josip Kašman Festival – Dani Josipa Kašmana in Mali Lošinj brought together exceptional artists, international ensembles and enthusiastic audiences across three remarkable concerts.
🌟 The highlight was “Opera under the Starry Sky of Lošinj - in memory of Kašman” held on 14 July at the Pjacal in front of the Parish Church of Mali Lošinj. More than 800 people enjoyed an extraordinary evening with soprano Darija Auguštan, tenor Roko Radovan and baritone Jaka Mihelač, soloist of the Berlin State Opera, accompanied by the Croatian Radiotelevision Symphony Orchestra conducted by Darijan Ivezić.
🇬🇧 Another milestone was the Croatian debut of the Covent Garden Chorus from London, welcomed by a capacity audience at Kino Vladimir Nazor.
🎹 The festival concluded with the superb NARMI Piano Trio, whose refined musicianship brought this anniversary edition to an elegant close.
The XX Josip Kašman Festival once again showed how music can connect world-class artistic excellence with the unique cultural heritage of Mali Lošinj, while keeping alive the legacy of one of the island’s greatest artists.
20 editions. Exceptional artists. Full venues. More than 800 people beneath the Lošinj stars.
