We are happy to announce that Croatian cellist Stjepan Hauser, one of the most promising upcoming instrumentalist today, performed for Prince Charles at the Buckingham Palace on April 23rd, 2008. |
Svirati za Princa Charlesa bila je ogromna cast, tim vise sto sam svijestan cinjenice da zaista rijetki dobe takvu priliku. Ono sto me je zapravo najvise veselilo jest to da sam svirao komorna dijela sa posebno odabranim i najboljim clanovima Londonske Filharmonije. To su uistinu vrhunski muzicari te sam sretan da smo se skompali te planiramo daljnju suradnju!! Svirali smo dijela posebno aranzirana za tu vecer. Koncert se zbio u jednoj od velikih dvorana u Backingham palaci. Na koncertu su prisustvovali Princ Charles i Camilla te njihov uski krug najblizih suradnika i prijatelja iz reda lordova te visokog svecenstva. Nakon koncerta imao sam cast upoznati se te pricati sa princom koji mi je uputio cestitke za sjajnu vecer te izrazio njegovo divljenje. Upoznao sam i neke od drugih prisutnih. Povod svemu tome bila je jedna od proslava 60tog rodjendana Princa Charlesa. Dvorana u kojoj sam svirao izgledala je velicanstveno te je imala sjajnu akustiku! Puno pozdrava svim citateljima CROWNa Stjepan London, UK 24 travnja 2008 |
