Sažetak
The forty five years of continuous tradition of the Varaždin Baroque Evenings music
and performance festival is an expression of the desire of its founders to support and
promote music to the audiences in Varaždin, its immediate surroundings and the north of Croatia, as well as in Europe and the world. Musical performances and the accompanying
programmes introduced the audience to the history of Varaždin, its musical,
architectural and artistic heritage, as well as the beauty of its nature and tourist destinations.
When the festival, with its beautiful performance spaces, countless associates
and an excellent reputation, started growing out of its local framework and gaining
international recognition, it started to contribute to the promotion of art not only in the
north of Croatia, but also on a wider European level as well. This was achieved by using
the urban locations and the magnificent architectural heritage of the region as concert
venues. Even more importantly, the artwork on the posters, invitations and records
published by the festival also featured the cultural heritage of the region, which was
the subject of research of the many participants of conferences and symposiums that
were part of the festival’s accompanying programme. Also part of the accompanying
programme were the numerous exhibitions which, just like the performances that took
place in the castles of Hrvatsko zagorje, testified to the organizers’ attitude towards the
preservation and renovation of national heritage sites. More recently, in addition to
promoting the arts in Croatia, the festival has also been promoting the heritage of partner
countries. This dedication to the promotion of artistic heritage is an expression of
the sensibilities of those who have been the moving force behind the Varaždin Baroque
Evenings in the past forty five years.
