Dora Pejačević (1885-1923) is the first Croatian woman composer. Here we can see her portrait by Maxo Vanka, distinguished Croatian painter.
Dora Pejačević (10 September 1885 -- 5 March 1923): Walzer-Capricen, Suite for Piano, Op. 28, written in 1910. Performed by Yoko Nishii in 2013 (live) These excellent inventive little piano pieces, in the form of a piano suite, are a high-point in the solo-piano oeuvre of Pejačević. They are full of imagination; a listener will be surprised by how different of character they are, even though most of them don't exceed 1-2 minutes in length.
Hotel Villa Astra with its director Vjeko Martinko, as well as numerous friends from the town of Lovran, are awaiting Yoko Nishii. Yoko-sun is fluent in Croatian langauage. A classical music event in front of thte Villa Astra in Lovran, Croatia, for guests of the hotel and friends.
