MARKO MIMICA – BASS-BARITONE AND MARCOS MADRIGAL – PIANO

A renowned and award-winning Croatian bass-baritone from Omiš and a Cuban pianist present an intriguing program specially prepared for this year's Split Summer Festival.

MARKO MIMICA – BASS-BARITONE AND MARCOS MADRIGAL – PIANO

The music of Franz Schubert, Maurice Ravel, and Vincenzo Bellini transports us through time and space, inviting us to reflect on the ephemeral beauty of life, the universality of human experiences, and the inevitable death. From the evocation of ancient styles in the works of Stefano Donaudy and Reynaldo Hahn, to the profound meditations on mortality in Ravel's "Kaddish" or the reminiscence of youth in Bellini's aria "Vi ravviso," each composition takes us on an emotional journey that transcends the barriers of time. This program immerses us in the idea of "Long Time Ago", recalling and honoring important moments, first loves, and experiences that shape our lives over time. And it is only through music that we find connection and solace in the eternal cadence of human existence.
