The Varaždin Baroque Evenings (Croatia)

The Varaždin Baroque Evenings
The Varaždin Baroque Evenings  is a classical music festival held annually in the city of Varaždin, Croatia. The festival, first held in 1971, showcases Baroque music and is usually held in late September and early October. The majority of performances are held at various venues around Varaždin but some parts of the program also took place at churches and castles in nearby towns.
A number of Croatian and foreign soloists, opera singers, and philharmonic orchestras performed at the festival. In addition to music concerts, in recent years the festival also hosts various baroque-themed cultural events including art exhibitions, book presentations and gastronomic events. Three prizes are also awarded at the end of each festival edition: the "Ivan Lukačić Award", the "Jurica Murai Award" and the "Kantor Award".

„ Town of Angels“
Under red Varazdin roofs and in the corners of the town, little sky guardians found their peace. They came to Varazdin because they were tired and they decided to relax in the north of Croatia. The legend says that angles sleep in our little town. In December, in the most beautiful part of the year, when Varazdin is decorated with thousands of lights, angels are excited and they wait for the good people. They wait in the secret corner of the town called „Andelinjak“. „Andelinjak“ is placed behind the Francisan church and was made by  Zeljko Prstec – a famous painter from Varazdin who created and set up „A museum of angels“ in our town. He was born in 1950 and his guardian angels led him to find his calling. He is painting angels all his life. He has been developing his artistic projects and made the legend that angels sleep in Varazdin. So, if you look carefully, you can find them everywhere. On the main square, behind the churches, on the buildings and other places in town. You will find statues of little angels hidden somewhere in the center of our town.
I think it's really awesome to have a hometown where you can feel protected by your guardian angels and just feel the spiritual connection with God.

Erasmus+ presentations in MSP Paderewski

What have we done during those 2 years? Does everyone know about it? In order to answer those questions we decided to get into the classrooms and show the rest of the school what we have done. It turns out it was quite a lot, because not a single pair could finish in a 15 minute slot...so much to talk about! It was a great opportunity to show everyone how much work and effort we put into it and that it pays off to participate in the project!  We will see what the future brings! Let's hope we will get another project!
