95th anniversary of the Orchestra of Mandolinists and Guitarists
 
 
The Orchestra of mandolinists and guitarists was founded in Zagreb in the beginning of 1929. Since then the Orchestra works continuously, performing at home and abroad (Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czech Republic, France, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy and Slovenia). They also held several joint concerts with orchestras from Japan (three times), Germany (twice) and Italy.
The orchestra's repertoire consists of classical and contemporary compositions originally originally written, or arranged, for mandolin orchestras.
At this celebratory concert, we will hear compositions by Italian composers from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century (Maciocchi, Sartori, Salvetti), the German guitarist Szordikowski, as well as covers of themes from the movie "The Godfather".
Collaboration with Croatian authors resulted in original compositions for mandolin orchestra (A. Marković dedicated his Prelude and scherzo to the "Sloga" Orchestra, and we will hear it performed by the Junior Mandolin Orchestra).
For over 25 years, the Orchestra has been conducted by maestro Mladen Landau.
Mima Karaula, soprano from HNK Zagreb, will perform with the Orchestra, with several arias from operettas (Kalman, Tijardović) and from musicals (Kabiljo).
The guests will be the Junior Mandolin Orchestra under the direction of Maksimilijan Borić and the Accordion Orchestra under the direction of Mladen Landau.
