Pomalo nam stiže jesen, a s njom i nastavak festivala SING(in)SPLIT! 💙🍁💙

Jesenski dio već tradicionalno otvaramo sa 7. Spli'skim klaparelom, a iza cijele priče i ove godine stoje naše cure iz Klapa Ventula. One već godinama s puno ljubavi, truda i dobre energije organiziraju ovaj susret i brinu se da prava klapska pisma odzvanja našim gradom.

Vidimo se 19. rujna u Hrvatskom domu Split. Ulaz je slobodan za sve, vaše je samo da dođete i uživate s nama! 🙌

A dok čekamo druženje, slobodno istražite njihove dosadašnje izvedbe i uljepšajte si večer! 🎶

Iza nas su dva ispunjena dana posvećena zborskoj umjetnosti – od ugodne koncertne večeri u Dioklecijanovim podrumima do edukativnog predavanja na Umjetničkoj akademiji.

Zahvaljujemo svima koji su izdvojili svoje vrijeme, došli nas poslušati i podržati rad naših glazbenika.

Posebna zahvala ide skladateljici čija smo djela imali čast praizvesti. Hvala nizozemskoj gošći Rieteke Hölscher na skladbi Tales of the Pilgrimage te korisnom i zanimljivom predavanju o strukturi u suvremenoj vokalnoj skladbi. Čestitamo i studentici Umjetničke akademije u Splitu Nini Bakić na praizvedbi njene Ave Marije.

Veliko hvala Mješovitom pjevačkom zboru UMAS-a i dirigentici Sari Dodig Baučić, kao i našim gošćama instrumentalisticama: Katarini Evetović (violončelo), Doroteji Hegedus (flauta) i Dorotei Rukavini (violina). Zahvaljujemo i njihovim mentorima, profesorima Ani Domačić Krstulović i Ivanu Božičeviću na pripremi.

Za vas koji ste propustili prva 2 događaja 9. SING (in) SPLIT festivala, budite bez brige jer nastavljamo s radom i već pripremamo program za jesenski dio festivala. Očekuje nas još zanimljivih glazbenih susreta i radionica. Pratite nas i vidimo se na jesen! 🍂🎼

Behind us are two days dedicated to choral music - from a pleasant concert evening in Diocletian's Cellars to an educational lecture at the Arts Academy.

We want to thank everyone who took the time to attend and support the work of our musicians.

Special thanks goes to the composer whose works we had the honor to premiere. Thank you to our Dutch guest Rieteke Hölscher for her piece Tales of the Pilgrimage and her insightful lecture on contemporary vocal composition.
Congratulations to student of Arts Academy in Split Nina Bakić on the premiere of her Ave Maria.

A big thank you to the Mixed Choir of the Arts Academy in Split and conductor Sara Dodig Baučić, as well as our guest instrumentalists: Katarina Evetović (cello), Doroteja Hegedus (flute), and Dorotea Rukavina (violin).

STRUKTURA I TENZIJA U SUVREMENOJ VOKALNOJ SKLADBI 📖

Pridružite nam se na inspirativnom predavanju nizozemske skladateljice i pijanistice Rieteke Hölscher u okviru druge večeri 9. SING (in) SPLIT-a! 🎹✨

Rieteke će nam približiti svoj skladateljski svijet u kojem vješto spaja glazbenu povijest sa suvremenim tehnikama, stvarajući zvuk koji je istovremeno inovativan i pristupačan. Otkrijte kako nastaju njezina zborska djela, izvođena od strane ansambala poput onih u Pekingu i Nizozemskoj te kako postići ekspresivnost kroz lirične melodije i proširene vokalne tehnike. 🎼

Ova svestrana glazbenica iza sebe ima bogat obrazovni put – studij klavira (klasičnog i jazza) na Konzervatoriju u Hilversumu te kompozicije na Konzervatoriju u Utrechtu. Njezin rad prepoznat je kroz brojne nagrade i priznanja, uključujući nominaciju za Composition Prize of Muziek Centrum Nederland te nagradu na natjecanju Save the Bassoon.

Posebno su zanimljivi njezini interdisciplinarni projekti poput Il Cibo per La Musica za orkestar mladih te Disturbing Light u kojem spaja elektroniku, živu izvedbu i video art. Njezina inovativnost odvela ju je i do New Yorka, gdje je na Uncaged Toy Piano Festivalu predstavila rad za Robot Toy Piano, prethodno odabran za prestižni Gaudeamus Muziekweek. Njezinu glazbu redovito izvode vrhunski ansambli kao što su Netherlands Radio Choir, Beijing Philharmonic Choir, Kamerkoor Next i Utrechtse Studenten Cantorij.

📍 Gdje: Dvorana Glazbenog odjela Umjetničke akademije u Splitu (Fausta Vrančića 19)
📅 Kada: Četvrtak, 14. svibnja u 15:30h

Predavanje je otvoreno za studente UMAS-a i svu zainteresiranu javnost.

Ulaz je slobodan!

Vidimo se! 💙

STRUCTURE AND TENSION IN CONTEMPORARY VOCAL COMPOSITION 📖

Join us for an inspiring lecture by Dutch composer and pianist Rieteke Hölscher as part of the second evening of the 9th SING(in)SPLIT festival! 🎹✨

Rieteke will introduce us to her compositional world, where she masterfully bridges music history and contemporary practice, creating a sound that is both innovative and accessible. Discover how her choral works are created—performed by renowned ensembles such as those in Beijing and the Netherlands—and learn how to achieve expressiveness through lyrical melodies and extended vocal techniques. 🎼

This versatile musician has a rich educational background, having studied piano (classical and jazz) at the Hilversum Conservatory and composition at the Utrecht Conservatory. Her work has been recognized through numerous awards and honors, including a nomination for the Composition Prize of Muziek Centrum Nederland and being a laureate of the Save the Bassoon competition.

Her interdisciplinary projects are of particular interest, such as Il Cibo per La Musica for Youth Orchestra and Disturbing Light, which combines electronics, live performance, and video art. Her innovative approach has even taken her to New York, where she presented her work for Robot Toy Piano at the Uncaged Toy Piano Festival, following its selection for the prestigious Gaudeamus Muziekweek. Her music is regularly performed by top-tier ensembles such as the Netherlands Radio Choir, Beijing Philharmonic Choir, Kamerkoor Next, and Utrechtse Studenten Cantorij.

📍 Where: Concert Hall of the Music Department, Arts Academy in Split (Fausta Vrančića 19)
📅 When: Thursday, May 14th at 15:30h

The lecture is open to Arts Academy (UMAS) students and the general public.

Admission is free!

See you there! 💙

Na dobro vam došla Sudamja! 💙

Danas Split slavi Sudamju, blagdan koji stoljećima objedinjuje vjeru, tradiciju i zajedništvo. Sveti Dujam nije samo simbol našega grada, već i vječna inspiracija umjetnosti i pjesmi koja odjekuje splitskim kalama i trgovima.

U duhu slavlja i očuvanja naše bogate glazbene baštine, pridružujemo se čestitkama svim Splićankama i Splićanima, kao i svim posjetiteljima koji danas dijele radost s nama. Neka pjesma i danas, kao i kroz povijest, bude glas našega zajedništva. 💙
______________________________________________________________________

May the Day of Saint Domnius bring you joy! 💙

Today, Split celebrates Sudamja, a feast day that has united faith, tradition, and community for centuries. Saint Domnius is not only the patron saint and symbol of our city but also an eternal inspiration for the art and song that echoes through the stone streets and squares of Split.

In the spirit of celebration and the preservation of our rich musical heritage, we join in extending our warmest wishes to all the people of Split and to all the visitors sharing in our joy today. May song, today as throughout history, remain the voice of our togetherness. 💙
