Damir Urban Concert

Three knots on the eyelash

Conductor: Alan Bjelinski

Performers: Urban & 4 and the Opera Orchestra of the Ivan pl. Zajc Croatian National Theatre (HNK)

There is nothing more beautiful than articulating one's inner scream, gathering the pieces of your personal silence, recognizing the emotion... and turning it all into a voice... and then adding words to it. In a way, this is how you stop growing up. Permanent delay. The sound is not heard, and it does not enter only through your ears. It shakes your skin, kicks your bones and grabs your lungs. I feel it. It calls to me. (Damir Urban)

Damir Urban and his band "The 4" accompanied by the Opera Orchestra of the Ivan pl. Zajc Croatian National Theatre (HNK) will give the first ever concert/performance "Three Knots on an Eyelash" at the "Rijeka Summer Nights". Unprecedented special effects designed especially for this programme will make this more than an exceptional music event. The Orchestra will be conducted by Alan Bjelinski.

In his own peculiar style, Urban announces this music spectacle in a very inspiring way:

I dreamed that the music sewed itself into me like a thread.

I dreamed that I have an invincible army of people, the best band in the world.

I dreamed that I will be working with a conductor who is crazy and free enough to lift us high, high.... where the sound becomes an image.

I dreamed that I will release my voice alongside the greatest orchestra... that we will fill every still unlighted corner of the sky with music.

I dreamed that once I might be a part of the "Rijeka Summer Nights"... and become the happiest man in the world.

Dream with me... awake.
