About performer:
The Camerata Garestin ensemble brings together leading Croatian vocal and instrumental performers of music from the 17th and 18th centuries. It was founded in 2008 at the instigation of Varaždin cellist Krešimir Lazar, with co-founders soprano Ivana Lazar, flutist Dani Bošnjak and harpsichordist and organist Krešimir Has. The contribution of the members of the ensemble has already been recognized several times by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia, which to a recognizable extent supports the work of the ensemble. “Camerata Garestin” has already been accompanied by very praiseworthy reviews, for example at the central Croatian baroque music festival “Varaždin Baroque Evenings”. The ensemble was also a guest at the prestigious international baroque music festival SEVIQC Brežice, and at the Festival of Croatian Music in Vienna, performing on the occasion at the famous Hofburgkapelle. Camerata Garestin is probably the first Croatian ensemble for early music professionally engaged in the Kingdom of the Netherlands (Voorshoten, den Haag, 2014), and it has also performed in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovakia, Germany and Austria. The members of the ensemble play on historical and replica baroque instruments. The program guideline of the ensemble is the presentation of thematic concert projects, thus showing the top works of European and Croatian masters of the High Renaissance, gallant style, Rococo and music of the earlier classical style.
