09/11/2025

🇭🇷 Završnica ovogodišnjeg ciklusa Orgulje sv. Marka donijela je jedinstveni glazbeni doživljaj! Umjetnički ravnatelj ciklusa i orguljaš crkve sv. Marka, Pavao Mašić, zaključio je festival koncertom posvećenim isključivo Wolfgangu Amadeusu Mozartu. Uz Mozartova orguljska djela, uključujući i čuvenu Fantaziju u f-molu, predstavio je i vlastitu orguljsku obradu Mozartove posljednje simfonije – veličanstvene Simfonije u C-duru, K. 551, "Jupiter", nadahnutu klavirskom transkripcijom Mozartova suvremenika Johanna Nepomuka Hummela.
✨ Pavao Mašić publiku je oduševio svojom virtuoznošću, interpretacijskom jasnoćom i energijom koja je ispunila povijesnu crkvu sv. Marka – dostojnim završetkom još jedne uspješne sezone ciklusa!

🎶 Zahvaljujemo svim izvođačima i publici na ovoj nezaboravnoj godini! Vidimo se uskoro na novim koncertima Orgulja sv. Marka!
