Čapljina was once again filled with the sounds of classical music during the ARDEA 2026 Winter Masterclass Cycle, held as part of the seminar’s 10th anniversary edition.
The highlight of the program was the Professors’ Concert, held at the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, where renowned artists and mentors Marijan Đuzel (piano), Marco Graziani (violin), and Dejan Božić (cello) performed before a large audience of classical music enthusiasts.
The concert program featured works by great composers such as Frédéric Chopin, Franz Schubert, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Eugène Ysaÿe, showcasing the performers’ artistic depth and interpretative excellence.
The winter cycle gathered nearly forty young musicians from Bosnia and Herzegovina and neighboring countries, who spent the week working intensively in masterclasses led by the professors. The program was further enriched by artistic collaborators Bartolomej Stanković and Silvija Vukojević.
Through concerts, masterclasses, and artistic exchange, ARDEA once again confirmed its important role in supporting young musicians and strengthening the cultural life of Čapljina and the wider region.
