Music & Word Festival: Sunday night rocked away with 'Atlantida', 'Modernists' opening on Wednesday6/24/2013
The second week of this year's edition of the Music & Word Festival ended with a bang. Classic rock sounds meshed with "Atlantida's" hits from their new album Premalo za san (Too Little for a Dream) to bring rock sound to the space usually reserved for the traditional folk song and dance, the space used to only the sound of traditional Konavle string instruments such as ljerica and tamburica. KUD Čilipi's terrace was wall-to-wall filled with audience of all ages that, judging by the ambiance and their smiles, loved both the old and the new "Atlantida's" hits. Cudos to the band!

Music & Word Festival: Haydn's Open Air Buffa Enchanted Audience, Atlantida & Guests Next Up6/22/2013
The sounds of Haydn's opera The Apothecary echoed throughout Pridvordje's monastery last night enchanting the audience (very few seats were left unfilled). Originally titled Lo speziale, the three-act buffa was libretted by Carlo Goldoni and first performed to popular and critical acclaim at Eszterháza in the autumn of 1768. The warm comedy develops around a love triangle between the poor apprentice Mengone, the rich and assured dandy Volpino, and the local apothecary's ward, Grilletta. The Apothecary was delivered as a single-act opera last night. Roles:

Dubrovnik Wind Quintet: a review Wednesday evening's concert by the Dubrovnik Wind Quintet left the audience mesmerized and asking for more. Their interperetations of Bach, Kappa, Farkas, Kalinski and Riethmuller were a delight to one's ear, and both a well deserved and delivered refreshment after a hot sunny Cavtat day. The beautiful artworks displayed in Cavtat's Pinacoteque, where the concert was held, was in accord fully.
Music & Word Festival continues on Wednesday June 19 with the Dubrovnik Wind Quintet (each musician is also a member of the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra). Their programme includes compositions by such greats as J. C. Bach, F. Lhotka Kalinski, W. Kappa, H. Riethmuller and F. Farkas.
The concert will be held in the Pinacoteque (adjecent to St. Nicholas Church in Cavtat) starting at 9pm. All are welcome to attend free of charge. St. Nicholas church in Čilipi was full of spectators on Wednesday evening as the 7th edition of the Music & Word Festival started with a Bethoveen & co 'bang'. Needless to say, the well known Dubrovnik choir Libertas (conducted by Viktor Lenert) and the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Nicola Giuliani) brought waves of musical joy upon the audience.
Beach and seabed cleaning endeavors have been ongoing in Cavtat for some years now. The first few years of the beach cleaning in Cavtat were truly amazing (and scary). Namely, each year it would take up to two semi-loads to truck away all the garbage that was found and taken out from the sea-bed around Cavtat.
