The exhibit was organized by Hamid Ladjevardi, a New York-based fund manager specializing in Baltic investments. Barbara Crane, an artist and curator of the Baltic Art Exhibition, chose a broad spectrum of paintings and sculptures, encompassing styles from representational to neo-expressionist to abstract. More information about this exhibit can be found on the website of the Latvian Embassy. Both films are in Croatian with English subtitles. The films will be introduced by Ambassador Dr Miomir Zuzul and a discussion will follow the films, hosted by Mr Mate Maras, Minister Counselor of Cultural Affairs at the Embassy.
Admission is free, but reservations are required.
For more information about the individual films visit the Croatian Embassy website. The Bohemian Chamber Philharmonic is touring the US from mid-February through early April. See below for dates and locations. This is to be the first concert devoted entirely to Slovak classical music ever in a major American concert hall. The Ohio Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Ohio Chamber Orchestra General Director Leo Najar, chose to play Slovak compositions simply because it had never been done before.
