Dubrovnik welcomed in 2019 with the traditional New Year’s Day concert on the Stradun. Classics from the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra echoed around the ancient facades of the Old City of Dubrovnik as the winter sunshine poured down.
The concert kicked off at midday and numerous visitors enjoyed not only classical music but also oysters and champagne organized by the Dubrovnik Tourist Board.
The American conductor, Marc Tardue, guided the orchestra through a varied program dn the soprano for the concert was Marija Kuhar Šoša.
The New Year’s music continues tonight with a concert by one of the most popular vocal groups in Croatia, Klapa Rišpet, at 9.00pm tonight.
