Concert: Autogeni trening

The most famous rock/hard rock band from Montenegro, a band that decided to take the thorniest path despite everything, can be summed up by the lyrics of their song “Koliko ljudi treba još da umre” 

“Unfortunately, there are divisions, and it’s not time for our songs,

It never was, but I must not keep quiet,

If I pause for a moment, I count it as a sin,

While stupidity celebrates victory and senselessness is the norm.”

The significance of the band Autogeni Trening goes beyond all musical boundaries. (Nikola Franquelli)

Concert: Who see

The duo from Who See Klapa achieved what many said was unattainable – they brought hip-hop sound and vibe closer to the broader Montenegrin audience and expanded their work and effort to the region. The success came deservedly, but the journey was not easy. With a huge dose of humor, a coastal sense of rhyme, infused with the well-known summer sluggishness, and a combination of excellent beats and rhymes that once represented Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest. From their early youthful and furious rhymes to today’s more mature ones, they have never lost the coastal charm of Kotor and Herceg Novi. Who See Klapa is another unique act from the Montenegrin scene that can be proud of their professional path.

Concert: City Orchestra Đenovici

Brass bands and city orchestras are a cultural feature of Mediterranean coasts, mostly consisting of a mix of amateur and professional musicians who cultivate both classical and modern repertoire. In addition to the city orchestras of Tivat and Kotor, Boka can boast the local Đenović Orchestra, which, due to the breadth of the repertoire it maintains, can be characterized as a large band depending on the nature of the performance.

Founded in 1919, this orchestra has produced generations of musicians, from enthusiasts to professionals. Today, there is no part of Montenegro or beyond where people have not heard of this authentic group of talents who proudly represent their origins and heritage, no matter where they perform.

At the Wind Festival, they will perform on an exceptionally attractive stage, built on the Ponte Seljanovo peninsula for the last festival weekend. The Đenović Orchestra will feature around 40 musicians and show us that music, like the wind, knows no boundaries, bringing us a concert lasting about an hour and a half, performing popular world hits.

“What is recognizable about the Đenović Orchestra is that their performances always hold something for everyone and that they are not limited to one musical generation or genre. Just like Boka, they have grown and developed, preserving the best of 100 years of musical evolution.” – Boka News

Theater Play: ‘Nora’

The renowned Marin Držić Theater from Dubrovnik is coming to the Wind Festival with the play “Nora.” The theater has been active since 1944. The primary task of the Marin Držić Theater is to sustain Croatian and world heritage and perform classics that have marked theatrical history. Attention is also given to modern creativity and contemporary authors.

“A Doll’s House” is a drama that, since its premiere in Copenhagen on December 21, 1879, has never ceased to intrigue both audiences and theater artists. Nordic playwright Henrik Ibsen not only achieved great theatrical success with it but also significantly shook numerous social structures that were affected by the critical thoughts of this play. The drama ends when the main protagonist, Nora, who had been in an seemingly harmonious marriage with lawyer Torvald Helmer, leaves her home to become the person she wants to be, not just a doll in the hands of her husband.

Nora is a symbol of rebellion; she no longer wants to be accountable to anyone, justify her actions, or let others decide for her. She wants her right to choose and make decisions. One hundred and forty-three years later, where Nora’s story ends, the play begins. It will be presented to the Tivat audience on May 26th in the Great Hall of the Tivat Culture Center.

The cast includes Matea Marušić as Nora (a member of the Croatian National Theatre in Vinkovci, Joza Ivakić), Bojan Beribaka as Krogstad (KMD), Marija Šegvić as Kristina Linde (KMD), Hrvoje Sebastijan as Doctor Rank (KMD), and young Tivat graduate actor, Matija Grabić. Antonela Tošić is responsible for adaptation and dramaturgy, while Paolo Tišljarić is the director and set designer of the play.

Classical music concert at sunset

Like most settlements along the Mediterranean coast, Tivat as a city began to develop in its hinterland, on the slopes of Vrmac, where its inhabitants, mainly farmers, maintained their farms and served as laborers on the estates of Boka Bay nobility, where the modern city of Tivat now stands.

For their patron saints, the first inhabitants of Tivat celebrated St. Srđ, then St. Šimun, until the 18th century when St. Anthony of Padua became their protector. The Church of St. Anthony in Tivat was completed on March 29, 1734, at the Perovo site. The consecration and blessing of the Church of St. Anthony took place on July 11 of the same year. With the first Mass held on November 8, to commemorate the death of some prominent people from Kotor, St. Anthony became the saint of all citizens of Tivat.

Wind Fest, as a sustainable development festival with the idea of connecting the past, present, space, and energy, this year prepares one of the classical music experiences precisely on the plateau of the Church of St. Anthony, which offers a stunning view of the city.

At the end of the day, after the church bells, the young Tivat vocal artist Dora Štampić will perform the aria “Ave Maria” accompanied by piano professor Nikola Bučković, and the evening will continue with a concert by the saxophone quartet from the class of Professor Goran Turkalj.

The saxophone quartet “Quattro Stagione” consists of students Vojislav Markovic, Adrian Gebauer, Teodora Bozovic, and Filip Kovacevic. The quartet performs a wide range of compositions at a high level. Their repertoire includes not only classical music but also evergreen, jazz, film, modern, funk, and R&B music.
