Sažetak
The fundamental idea of this paper was to investigate the cultural tendencies that created the tradition of performing Early music in the musical life of Varaždin, initiated ideas about the establishment of the festival and led to different forms of the realization of these ideas. The data about the performances of Early music in Varaždin, in the period before the Varaždin Baroque Evenings, as recorded by Krešimir Filić, could be observed since the year 1922. Participating in these events were: amateur and school choirs, professional musicians and ensembles from Croatia and abroad and the Orchestra of the People’s Theatre “August Cesarec” Varaždin. The representation of historical instruments was present since 1935 and the performances of Croatian musical heritage of the Baroque were present since 1939. The short life of the “Varaždin Festival” (1955-56), as the first form of the realisation of the idea about the festival, was investigated on the basis of data from the published issues of the weekly from that time, “Varaždinske vijesti”. The cycle of concerts, dedicated to the celebration of the 140th anniversary of the Varaždin Music School in 1968 can also be considered as a form of the realisation of the abovementioned idea. Summing up all the gathered data, we can conclude that the Varaždin Baroque Evenings, founded in the year 1971, represent a permanent form of the realization of the concept, inherent in the Varaždin intellectual circles already before the World War Two, and realized, like many other music and cultural institutions of the city, by the cooperation of the amateurism, professionalism and education, united in the clear vision and harmonized teamwork.
