Audio visual

On Sunday evening we were enticed into the Church Rosario for a performance of the Dubrovnik Chamber Duo. Pero Škobalj on guitar and Jakov Kakarigi on the flute and piccolo played a programme including music by Dowland, Bach, Mozart, Carulli and Albeniz. The guitarist was excellent and won a standing ovation for the beauty and passion of his playing.

Today, a last wander within the old city was filled with more music and visual art. A choir of children sang a song of the sea on the steps of St Blaise Church; in the gallery of Naive Art the wooden sculpture of a woman and child had the intimacy of a pieta; whilst in Bunin Square an artist was preparing large boards to advertise an exhibition ‘Skriveni Trečento’ (hidden 14th century art).

I had chatted with the artist about our similar respect for Mary Magdalen and was about to leave when a figure in costume walked past; a nice completion of the circle of audio visual art as I am pretty sure he was playing the role of a character from the TV production of Game of Thrones which had partly been filmed here in Dubrovnik.
