At the beginning of September, Vrsar becomes home to the REBACLA Music Festival. The festival's vision is to bring outstanding classical music, performed by acclaimed professional musicians, to audiences of all generations in the unique setting of Istria's natural beauty and rich cultural and historical heritage.
As part of this year's REBACLA Classical Music Festival, the Orsarta String Quintet will present a concert featuring two masterpieces of classical music: Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons and Astor Piazzolla'sThe Four Seasons of Buenos Aires.
Composed in the early 18th century, Vivaldi's celebrated cycle is one of the most iconic works of the Baroque era and among the earliest examples of programmatic music, vividly portraying the changing moods and landscapes of the four seasons. Written in the mid-20th century, Piazzolla's cycle explores the same theme through a completely different musical language, blending Argentine tango, jazz and contemporary classical music. Together, these two masterpieces create a fascinating dialogue between centuries, continents and musical traditions.
The concert will take place on Saturday, 5 September 2026, at 8:00 p.m., beneath the St. Martin viewpoint in Vrsar (plateau overlooking the beach).
In case of rain, the event will be held indoors at the Italian Community Hall, Gradska vrata 2.
The event is organised by the Orsarta Association in cooperation with the Vrsar Tourist Board.
Concert:
Saturday 6.09. - 20:00 h (under Viewpoint St. Martin - stairs to the beach)
