EXHIBITION STAGED ABOUT ZAGREB MUSICAL BIENNALE

ZAGREB, April 18 (Hina) - An exhibition called "The Musical Biennale At the End of the Millennium" opened in the "Vatroslav Lisinski" hall in Zagreb on Saturday as part of this year's international musical festival being held in Zagreb by April 25. Photos, articles from newspapers and magazines, posters and sound tracks from the former Biennale events, are presenting 38 years of this international festival of the contemporary music in the Croatian capital. The director of the Biennale, Sandra Vojnovic, said the selected material from the archives of the festival was exhibited, but stressed that this was not a retrospective show. Instead, musicians and composers who have taken part in the festival since its start in 1961 are presented thematically. The author of the exhibition, Alenka Bobinsky said the purpose of this event was to show that the festival had not been only held on stages but that it had been also present at all segments of the life of a city, in its squares, streets, in the press and everyday conversations. She recalled that great artists, e.g., Stavinski, Sostakovic, Stockhausen and Cage had attended the Zagreb Musical Biennale. The show will open until the end of this year's 20th Biennale. (hina) ms
