CANTUS ENSEMBLE AND YOUNG CROATIAN MUSICIANS
From its earliest days Cantus Ensemble has supported young musicians. In the first few years workshops were organized during the summer months on the island Vis and in Zagreb. The workshops were to be home to the work in progress by Croatian and international composers. In 2007, the workshops were moved to Grožnjan - international cultural centre of Croatia's music youth - focusing on young composers and conductors.
NEW MUSIC NETWORKING – ZEITFLUSS ENSEMBLE
In 2010 Cantus Ensemble is commencing an interesting association with Zeitfluss Ensemble for modern music from Graz. This association is a continuation of the past efforts which the Ensemble has already realized in Ljubljana (UNICOM Festival, MD7 Ensemble), Vienna (Arnold Schönberg Centre and Foundation), and Trieste (Festivale Trieste Prima) in a project designed to build up a local cultural network.
EXCERPTS FROM REVIEWS
Young Audience Cries with Laughter One would be very wrong in thinking that musicians can neither dance nor act. This was proven by Cantus Ensemble's project at the Lisinski Small Hall under the direction of Krešimir Dolenčić and with choreography by Dinko Bogdanić, who succeeded in teaching a few steps even to those with two left feet.
