Dreno's Sunday evening was brightened by soprano Lorena Krstić and pianist Stipe Bilić. In the courtyard of the Heritage Museum, surrounded by woods, we enjoyed listening to the music of the young duo.

The program was divided into five short sections. In three parts we listened to solo songs by Croatian authors. The first one featured Emil Cosseto, Vinko Glasnović, Krsto Odak and Milan Prebanda. The second unit was the first intermezzo in which Stipe Bilić performed Chopin's 2nd ballad in F major (Op.38). In the central part of the program Soprano Lorena Krstić sang two compositions by Dora Pejačević and one by Josip Hatze, Božidar Kunc and Blagoje Bersa. This was followed by another intermezzo in which Stipe Bilić performed Schubert's Impromptu in B major, D.935. At the end of this great musical evening, Lorena Krstić, accompanied by Stipe Bilić, sang songs Lastavicam and Ostavljena by Ivan pl. Zajc.

Even though the evening was called Zajc under the stars, it could be called in the spirit of today's times Stars under the stars For these young artists, this is not an exaggeration. The quality of their performances was convinced by about seventy present classical music lovers, as evidenced by the long-lasting sincere applause by the Drenov audience.

In addition to commending Lorena Krstić for excellent and attractive performances of all solo songs, we also highlight the valuable contribution of Stipe Bilić. The people of Drenovci have been convinced of its musicality, excellent performances and human qualities many times. Although he is a top musician, he is above all modest and self-sufficient. When he is at home on Drenova, he often plays accompaniment to the Drenova Singing Choir, especially during their performances in the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Thank you Stip and Lorena for an unforgettable evening!
