This weekend, a two-day literary event will take place, fostering interaction between authors and the audience, and further enriched by a musical segment featuring Draško Adžić.
Tomorrow, September 27, marks the start of the inaugural edition of the Ponta Lopud Book Bridge, a two-day literary event that will transform the island of Lopud into a true literary oasis. Through book readings, intellectual discussions, and workshops held at the historic Rector’s Palace, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the power of words and the richness of literary forms.
Adding to the program is a concert by Draško Adžić, a guest of the Lopud Foundation’s Artist Residency. Adžić, an acclaimed composer of stage music whose works have been performed worldwide at festivals such as Berlinale, Month of Contemporary Music (Berlin), Gaudeamus Music Week (Amsterdam), Biennale Zagreb, Dubrovnik Summer Festival, and Ulysses Theatre Festival, will perform at St. Nicholas Church on Saturday, September 28, at 7 PM. He has received numerous awards for his applied music and is a two-time winner of the Sterija Award.
“We are excited to collaborate with the Ponta Lopud Festival, and to give each former participant of the Ponta Lopud workshop the opportunity to create freely in an inspiring environment of peace and quiet,” said Lucien Rees Roberts, founder of the Lopud Foundation’s Artist Residency.
This concert will be an excellent addition to the already rich literary program, offering visitors the chance to enjoy a subtle fusion of music and art. Admission is free for all visitors on both days.
Ponta Lopud Creative Platform hosts and presents three summer cultural programs in 2024, welcoming all art lovers, especially those passionate about film, music, and literature.
