ZvUQ (Zagreb Unlimited Quintet)
/ Ana Batinica, Iva Ledenko, Eva Fritz, Bogdan Bikicki, Petar Kšenek /
Co-funded by the City of Zagreb
Creative Hour at Urania continues its collaboration with ZvUQ (Zagreb Unlimited Quintet) - a new chamber ensemble that explores music as a space of dialogue between art, society, and the individual.
Following the concerts Peace of Mind, Fantasy Tales, and You and Only You from the Important Dates series, the ensemble’s final program continues to explore the relationship between acoustic and ethical space.
The concert, dedicated to Earth Day, brings together works by composers for whom nature was a profound source of inspiration. The sounds of wind instruments, in dialogue with sound installations of nature, create a space of deeper connection between humans and the environment — an experience of listening that fosters sensitivity, awe, and respect.
The musical program features works by P. I. Tchaikovsky (The Seasons, Op. 37a – April), Amy Beach (Pastorale for Wind Quintet, Op. 151), Carl Nielsen (Wind Quintet, Op. 43), Edward MacDowell (To a Wild Rose, arr. Mitchell Kriegler), and Isolina Carrillo (Dos Gardenias, arr. Ioan Dobrinescu), connecting diverse musical poetics into a unified concert whole.
Through the selected repertoire, the ensemble creates a tension between classical tradition and contemporary listening experience — between the space of sound and the space of thought. Music opens as a medium of introspection, but also as a shared act of listening.
The collaboration between Urania and ZvUQ brings a new dimension to the Creative Hour — a place where architecture of space, sound, and thought meet in a shared field of attentive listening to the world.
This program is co-financed by the City of Zagreb.
