Cantus Ensemble in the best ballet for 2011

Ballet Air by composer Krešimir Seletković and choreographer Martino Müller is awarded the Croatian Actors' Guild Award for the best ballet production for the year 2011. Developed in coproduction of the 26^th Music Biennale Zagreb and Croatian National Theatre Zagreb, the ballet had its first performance during our festival in April this year. The ballet also presented an opportunity for the ballerina Pavla Mikolavčić to be awarded for the best artistic accomplishment in a ballet for the leading female role at the yesterday’s ceremony in Croatian National Theatre Zagreb. This combination of the incredible music performed by Cantus Ensemble and movements of the ballet ensemble of Croatian National Theatre Zagreb can be seen again in April 2012.

Till then, we congratulate all the winners!

"Cantus is also... a desire to approach the contemporary music with high performing and professional criteria; a desire to discover the New and the Unknown; the one that brought us all together. We want this Journey that is about to begin to be as interesting as possible, that it lasts as long as possible and that it is always filled with Curiosity and Wonder..."

- Berislav Šipuš in 2001, the year when the Cantus Ensemble was founded

The concert activities of the Cantus Ensemble are carried out with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia, Zagreb City Council for Education, Culture and Sports and Croatian Composers' Society
