Festival of free music - 2009.-...
Festival of free music
THE FIRST FESTIVAL WAS HELD IN 2009, where the organizers themselves participated in part of the program. The main idea was as follows: in two, maximum three days of the festival, in a pleasant environment to attract visitors with concerts of local and guest performers, music workshops - workshops on improvisation, free sessions for visitors and thematic lectures. The common denominator of all events should be precisely improvisation in music, which opens the whole spectrum of musical types, subtypes and combinations that we can host at the festival.
When mentioning improvised music, the average listener will immediately think exclusively of jazz. However, with blues, funk, fusion, ethno music and in combining all of the above with electronic music, we came to an immense number of potential performers, lecturers and participants.
THE BASIC IDEA OF THE FESTIVAL that we are trying to follow today is to create an interactive music event where the visitor is an active participant, promoting non-established young performers who have nowhere to present their music, enabling all-day gatherings of groups of people of the same interests.
LOCATION / STAGES - In 2010, the festival "moved" to an attractive location of one of the most beautiful natural bays in this part of Dalmatia - Čigrađa Bay - Murter, and then to the location of Caffe Bara Reful where part of the road is closed for traffic and turned into a dance floor. Thus, the event takes on significance in terms of supplementing the tourist and cultural offer of the place/island/county, but also creates a counterbalance to ready-made musical events on the coast and gives an "alternative", versatile note to the cultural offer of Murter.
