As part of the 70th Festival’s music programme, The Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra performed last night, 12 August, with violinist Katarina Kutnar and maestro Ivo Lipanović in the Rector’s Palace atrium. The composition Cycle.mp3, for strings by the Dubrovnik pianist and composer Ivan Violić had its first performance while the rest of the evening's programme included the P.I. Tchaikovsky Concerto for violin and orchestra in D major and Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major better known as ‘Eroica.’

The third exhibition at the anniversary 70th Dubrovnik Summer Festival is the Festival Backstage by photographer Marko Ercegović which captures many fascinating, yet often unseen, goings-on behind the scenes of the Festival-making process. The exhibition will formally be opened on Saturday, 17 August, in the Sponza Palace atrium at 9pm.
