Partners of concerts:

Zagreb soloists, founded in 1953 as a Radio Zagreb ensemble under the artistic leadership of cellist Antonio Janigro, has performed more than four thousand concerts on all continents over the course of seven decades. The ensemble’s concertmasters have been Dragutin Hrdjok, Tonko Ninić, Anđelko Krpan, Borivoj Martinić-Jerčić, and, since 2012, the renowned violinist Sreten Krstić. The ensemble has performed in many of the world’s most famous concert halls, such as Musikverein in Vienna, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Carnegie Hall in New York, and others. The repertoire of the ensemble includes baroque, classicist, romantic, and contemporary music, with particular attention paid to the actualization of earlier compositions and the presentation of younger generations of Croatian composers. Among the more than seventy releases, perhaps most distinguished are the album featuring the works of Ernesto Cordero, recorded in collaboration with the violinist Guillermo Figueroa and the guitarist Pepe Romero, and the CD featuring the works of Boris Papandopulo. During the Croatian War of Independence, the ensemble held about seventy benefit concerts, as well as numerous ceremonial concerts on the occasion of the presentation of the new Croatian state.
