FESTIVAL
ISPF 23

ISPF 2023 

It has been some time since Samobor and percussion have seriously fallen in love.

After a decade of colouring the Samobor Autumns with numeros shades of percussion and marimba music, and bringing exciting concerts by renowned international guests under the name of Ivana Bilic Marimba Week, we have decided to turn to the starry skies and late summer nights for new inspiration.

In these unusual times we don't want to give up on music and art.

This year we bring to the audience an original festival opening starting with the screening of the short film Duo, which brings together music, dance and visual art in a poetic way, followed by a concert of biNg bang, the Percussion Ensemble of Zagreb Music Academy showcasing Eva Mach, a violinist of exceptional sensibility. The polyphony of string and membrane sounds, wood and metal is presented through an exciting program of original music written for percussion ensemble.

The evening programs bring several treats: a performance by Filip Merčep, an artist with a wide range of interests who combines percussion and electronic music in his recent performances, and a concert by the elegant FLAM-a duo with covers of classical pieces for keyboard percussion. ​

In addition to the masterclasses of the musicians who perform at the evening concerts, we highlight the presentation of original compositions and arrangements for percussion instruments by Josip Konfic, who often uses body percussion in his creations.

​ Young forces will also present themselves to the Samobor audience: the best percussion students of the Zagreb Academy of Music on the concert intitled Rising Stars, and the participants of the seminar at the traditional Final Concert.
