Poštovani!U smiraj ljetnoga dana volim prošetati grubim putem koji vodi sve do "paških vrata". Sunce, more, kamen, grmlje i ble-janje ovaca; s time ostajem, i svojim mi-slima. Naravno, PagArtFestival uvijek je sa mnom, u putovima mojih misli, od pri-rode do umjetnosti, od svega znanog do najdaljih pitanja, odavde do vječnosti. Već jedanaest godina naš Festival dio je mog života, velik i vrijedan. Poštujem tu obavezu i nastojim voditi program na na-čin da naš mali festival ostane zabilježen kao velik i vrijedan.

Dear friends!As the daylight slowly fades I like to take a stroll down the old road to Paška Vrata. The sun, the sea, the rocks, the bushes and the sheep bleating; I remain alone, with all that and my thoughts. Naturally, the PagArtFestival is always with me, jo-urneying with my thoughts, from nature to art, from all that is known to the far-thest questions, from here to eternity. For eleven years now this Festival of ours is an integral part of my life, a large and precious one. I respect that and I try to manage the program so as to help our small festival be remembered as great and priceless.

Lovro Pogorelich, umjetnički direktor/ Artistic Director

Dejan Bogdanović već više od dva de-setljeća izaziva ushićenje i divljenje, ne samo zbog svoje savršene kontrole in-strumenta, nego i zbog dubokog pozna-vanja stilova i ljepote njegovog zvuka, ali i zbog sposobnosti da pronikne u mu-zičku suštinu kompozicije dodajući svoj emocionalni pečat kojim svako djelo po-staje osobno i jedinstveno. Najvjerojat-nije je to razlog što ga u Italiji nazivaju "genijem boja". Potječe iz obitelji u kojoj je umjetnost pored profesije uvijek bila i način života; otac Vladimir akademski je slikar i knji-ževnik, djed Dejan, akademski kipar, pri-jateljevao je s Piccasom… Dejan je debitirao kao violinist s 10 godi-na, u 17. godini s Dubrovačkim orkestrom izvodi Paganinijev i Mendelsohnov kon-cert i otada redovito nastupa solistički i uz orkestre diljem Europe, Rusije i u Ka-nadi. Nastupa na prestižnim festivalima kao što su Kuhmo (Finska) ili Pablo Casals (Francuska), surađuje sa svjetski uva-ženim glazbenicima poput N. Brainina (Amadeus kvartet), B. Greenhousea (Trio BeauxArts), V. Mendelshonna, P. Galloisa, M. Flaksmana, K. Boginoa, P.H. Xuereba i drugih. S 19 godina bio je pobjednik me-đunarodnih natjecanja u Beču i Zagrebu. Studirao je na moskovskom konzervato-riju Čajkovski kod svjetski poznatog vio-linista Viktora Tretjakova koji je o njemu rekao: " … izuzetno rafiniran i umjetnički

uvijek sadržajan muzičar sa stalno pri-sutnom muzičkom idejom i apsolutnom kontrolom bilo kojeg stilskog perioda. Njegova duboka i bogata kreativna vizija uvijek mi nešto novo govori … bez sum-nje Dejan je nada novoga violinizma …".Posebno ističe i suradnju s čuvenom pro-fesoricom Zinaidom Gilels.Bio je najmlađi docent Akademije Umet-nosti u Novom Sadu a od 1992.g. živi i radi u Italiji. Profesor je violine i komor-ne muzike na Školi za visoko usavršava-nje u Chioggi (Venecija) i održava brojne međunarodne tečajeve u Italiji i širom EuropeU siječnju 2002. izveo je prvi put u Ita-liji violinski koncert R. Straussa, u ulozi solista i dirigenta, sa Simfonijskim orke-strom Pesara, u čuvenom teatru Rossini, u rodnom gradu Rossinija. U svibnju o.g. je ovaj koncert odsvirao i sa Zagrebač-kom filharmonijom.Njegov posljednji CD "Virtuosismo e Me-ditazione-Live in Italy" ostvario je veliki uspjeh i izazvao sjajne reakcije publike i kritike. Bogdanović je umjetnički direktor i glav-ni i odgovorni urednik za klasičnu muzi-ku diskografske kuće "Terre Sommerse" u Rimu. U njegovu čast oformljen je no-voosnovani Festival des deux Fleuves Rhòne et Danube u Avignonu, u suradnji sa svjetski poznatim violistom Pierreom Henrijem Xuerebom.

Dejan Bogdanović has been thrilling and fascinating audiences for over two deca-des now, not only because of his perfect instrument control but also his profound knowledge of the styles and the beauty of the instrument’s sound, and the abi-lity to penetrate the musical essence of a composition, at the same time leaving his own emotional mark thus making each musical work personal and unique.All these things are probably why the Italians call him the "genius of colours". He comes from a family that has always viewed art as not just a profession but a way of life; his father Vladimir is an aca-demic painter and writer, while his gran-dfather Dejan, an academic sculptor, was friends with Picasso… Dejan made his debut as violinist when he had been ten, and at the age of 17 he joined forces with the Dubrovnik Symp-hony Orchestra to play Paganini and Mendelssohn’s concerto. Since then he has been making solo performances and appearances with major orchestras aro-und Europe, as well as Russia and Canada. He has also been performing at various

prestigious festivals, including Kuhmo (Finland) and Pablo Casals (France), and cooperating with world renowned musi-cians such as N. Brainin (Amadeus Quar-ter), B. Greenhouse (Trio BeauxArts), V. Mendelssohn, P. Gallois, M. Flaksman, K. Bogino, P.H. Xuereb and others. At 19 he won the international musical competi-tions in Vienna and Zagreb. He studied at Moscow’s P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory under the tutelage of the world famous violinist Viktor Tretyakov who said Dejan was "an exceedingly refined and artisti-cally rich musician with an ever-present musical idea and absolute control of every period in music. His deep creative feelings always communicate to me so-mething new... Dejan is without doubt the herald of the new age of violinists". Dejan is especially proud of his coope-ration with the famous professor Zinaida Gilels.He was also the youngest senior lecturer at the University of Novi Sad and has been living and working in Italy since 1992. He teaches violin and chamber music at the international music school in Chioggia

(Venice) and holds various international courses in Italy and the rest of Europe. In January 2002, at the famous Teatro Rossini in Rossini’s hometown of Pesa-ro, he made the first performance and directed the Pesaro Symphony Orche-stra playing the concerto for violin and orchestra by Richard Strauss. He played the same concerto with Zagreb Philhar-monic in May of this year. His latest album titled "Virtuosismo e Me-ditazione-Live in Italy" has been a huge success, provoking excellent reactions from both the audiences and the critics. Bogdanović is the art director and editor in chief for classical music of the Rome-based discography label Terre Sommer-se. The Festival des deux Fleuves Rhone et Danube, which is held in Avignon, in cooperation with the world renowned violist Pierre-Henri Xuereb was esta-blished in his honour.

Od svoje sedamnaeste godine Lovro Po-gorelić redovito koncertira širom svije-ta. Solistički ili s orkestrom, ostvaruje pijanističke kreacije uvjerljive snage i nepobitne individualnosti. Francuska diskografska kuća Intrada (Pariz) prepoznala je umjetnost Lovre Pogorelića te je u proljeće 2007. izdala CD "liszt lovro pogorelich", koji je izazvao divljenje kritike u rasponu od uzvika "Wo-uah!" u Francuskoj (A. Jourdain, www.pia-nobleu.com) do karakterizacije "... pijanist izvjesne reputacije sa zadivljujućim mu-zičkim argumentima..." u Japanu (J. Ha-mada, The Record Geijutsu Disc Review). U prosincu 2008. Intrada izdaje novi CD Lovre Pogorelića, s djelima Musorgskog

i Rahmanjinova. Pianobleu odabire ovaj CD kao CD mjeseca siječnja 2009. Lovro Pogorelić živi, radi i uživa u Mesničkoj ulici u Zagrebu. Predaje klavir na Muzičkoj aka-demiji u Zagrebu i vodi PagArtFestival.From the age of seventeen, Lovro Pogo-relich has regularly been giving concerts throughout the world. Solo or accompa-nied by the orchestra, he makes pianistic creations of convincing power and inar-guable individuality. French recording company Intrada (Pa-ris) has recognised the art of Lovro Po-gorelich and, in spring 2007, it published a CD, "liszt lovro pogorelich" acclaimed by the critics, ranging from an exclama-

tion of admiration "Wouah" in France (A. Jourdain, www.pianobleu.com) to the following characterisation " ... a pi-anist of unquestionable reputation with fascinating musical arguments ... " in Japan (J. Hamada, The Record Geijutsu Disc Review). In December 2008, Intrada published a new Lovro Pogorelich's CD with the works by Mussorgsky and Rach-maninoff. Pianobleu chose this CD as the CD of the month in January 2009.Lovro Pogorelich lives, works and enjoys life in Mesnička Street in Zagreb. He lec-tures the piano at the Music Academy of the University of Zagreb and manages PagArtFestival.

Tony Cetinski, najblistavija zvijezda hr-vatske i daleko šire estrade, nepresta-no nadograđuje svoju karijeru i svoju osobnost. Njegova neuništiva energija, nezadrživa mašta, neograničeni interes ali i bogato muzičko iskustvo i klasična muzička naobrazba redovito rezultiraju zanimljivim projektima koji nalaze put u svijet. Kroz druženje u Mesničkoj ulici u Zagrebu, Tony Cetinski i Lovro Pogo-relić našli su dovoljno zajedničkog da bi se Lovro uključio u snimanje posljednjeg Tonyjevog albuma, a Tony odlučio pjevati u crkvi bez ozvučenja, uz Lovrinu klavir-sku pratnju.

Tony Cetinski, the brightest star of Croatia’s and region’s music scene, con-tinues to work and build on his career and personality. His indestructible ener-gy, unstoppable imagination and infinite interest, as well as considerable music experience and classical music educati-on regularly result in interesting projects that find their way into the world. Throu-gh their friendship in Zagreb’s Mesnička Street, Tony Cetinski and Lovro Pogore-lić have found enough in common to get Lovro involved in the recording of Tony’s last album, while Tony decided to sing in a church with no PA system, with just Lo-vro accompanying him on the piano.

Gradska glazba Pag osnovana je 1923. go-dine od grupe glazbenih entuzijasta koji su od tadašnjih paških malih obrtnika i po-duzetnika prikupili sredstva za kupnju pr-vih instrumenata i pod vodstvom njihovog prvog kapelnika - Gugliamina Polzinettia, paškog zeta, krenuli s ozbiljnim radom i vježbanjem. Trud se isplatio, tako da su već na Badnjak 1924. imali svoj prvi službeni nastup na današnjem Trgu kralja P. Kreši-mira IV u Pagu (tom prilikom snimljena je priložena fotografija).Gradska glazba Pag pod istim imenom radi neprekidno, osim nekoliko godina tijekom II svjetskog rata, do današnjih dana, pre-zentirajući svojim sugrađanima ali i publici izvan Paga plodove svojega truda i rada: s koncertnim programima (prigodom Boži-ća, tijekom ljeta i u drugim prigodama ), s budnicama ili večernjicama prigodom svih većih državnih, vjerskih i gradskih blagda-na, svirajući posmrtne marševe na pogre-bima, s religioznim melodijama na vjer-skim procesijama na blagdan Velike i Male Gospe te na Paškom zimskom i ljetnom karnevalu kada (od 1928. godine ) se svira tradicionalno Paško kolo koje je skladao sljedeći kapelnik, Zadranin Šime Dešpalj. Dugogodišnji kapelnik bio je, u dva na-vrata, profesor, dirigent i skladatelj Ivan Pogorelić, rodom Pažanin, čijom skladbom započinje večerašnji program. Orkestar Gradske glazbe Pag danas broji 30-tak članova. Vodi ga gospodin Branko Barbir. Orkestar se svake godine puni no-vim mladim muzičarima koji potrebnu izo-brazbu u sviranju puhačkih instrumenata stječu u Maloj školi koju vode gospoda

Branko Barbir (limeni instrumenti ) i Davor Dobrijević (drveni instrumenti ).

The Pag Town Brass Orchestra was foun-ded in 1923 by a group of young music enthusiasts who had gathered the funds necessary for the purchase of the first in-struments from Pag’s craftsmen and en-trepreneurs. Afterwards, headed by their first bandmaster Gugliamino Polzinetti, who had become a Pag inhabitant through marriage, they started practicing and wor-king rather seriously. Their hard work paid off as already on the Christmas Eve of 1924 they had their first official performance, in today’s Kralja P. Krešimira IV Square in Pag (where this photo was taken on the occasi-on in question).The Pag Town Brass Orchestra has since been in continuous existence under the same name, but for a few years during WW2. It has continually presented Pag in-habitants and audiences outside Pag with the fruits of their labor through various concert programs (around Christmas, in the summertime and on other occasions), with patriotic songs or nocturnes on the occasion of all major state, religious and town holidays, or by playing dead mar-ches at funerals, religious melodies at processions on the Assumption Day and Feast of the Birth of Mary, as well as du-ring Pag’s winter and summer carnivals, at which it has been playing the traditional Paško kolo (Pag Dance, since 1928), by the second bandmaster Šime Dešpalj from Za-dar. Among thers, a years- long, two-time bandmaster was also the Pag-born profe-

Every year the orchestra accepts new and young musicians. They all learn to play wind instruments at the local Lit-tle School, led by Mr. Branko Barbir (brass instruments) and Davor Dobrijević (wo-odwind instruments).Klapa Sol iz Paga djeluje od 1996. U ožujku 2009. godine dobila je Godišnju nagradu grada Paga za promicanje tradicije klap-skog pjevanja. Prije nekoliko godina izdala je svoj prvi album ''O, more'', a u kolovozu

prošle godine i drugi, "Škapular". Klapa je osvojila niz nagrada publike na festivalima Melodije Istre i Kvarnera, Festivalu Marko Polo u Korčuli, Karnevalfestu u Kostreni (nagrada za "najkarnevalskiju pjesmu") i Večerima dalmatisnke pisme u Kaštelima. Ovoga ljeta Klapa Sol pobjeđuje na festi-valu Melodije Istre i Kvarnera te nastupa na jubilarnom 50.-om Splitskom festivalu, Večerima dalmatinske pisme i Festivalu Klapa i Mandolina u Opatiji.

The Pag-based Klapa Sol (Salt) was foun-ded in 1996. In March 2009, this harmony-singing group won the annual award presented by the town of Pag for the pro-

motion of the klapa singing tradition. A few years back they released their first album titled O, more (Oh, Sea), and in August of last year came their second album Škapu-lar (Scapular). The klapa has won a number of audience awards at the festivals Melo-dies of Istria and Kvarner, Marco Polo Fest in Korčula, Carnivalfest in Kostrena (award for the "most carnival" song) and Evenings of Dalmatian Songs in Kašteli. This sum-mer the klapa won the Melodies of Istria and Kvarner and performes at the 50th Split Summer Festival, Evenings of Dalma-tian Songs and Opatija’s Festival of Klapas and Mandolins.

Članovi su istaknuti glazbenici koji su svo-je vrhunsko glazbeno obrazovanje stekli na moskovskoj akademiji Gnjesin i Konzer-vatoriju Čajkovski te su istinski sljedbeni-ci ruske glazbene tradicije i najviših ideja glazbene edukacije. Kiril Rodin i Nikolaj Sačenko pobjednici su prestižnog natjeca-nja Čajkovski. N. Rubinstein i K. Rodin pre-daju na konzervatoriju Čajkovski.Trio je pobjednik Međunarodnog natjeca-nja u Weimaru (Njemačka, 1996.) i drugo-nagrađeni na Međunarodnom natjecanju u Trapani (Italija, 1993.). Uspješno koncer-tira u najboljim koncertnim dvoranama Moskve, St. Petersburga, Bruxellesa, Beča, Rima, Melbourna i drugdje. Od godine 1994. Trio aktivno sudjeluje u programu festivala ArtNovember u Moskvi na kojem nastupaju slavni ruski glazbenici kao što su Natalia Gutman, Nikolaj Petrov, kvarteti Borodin i Šostakovič i drugi.
