Zmaj Orko Star
As part of the Barone Jazz Festival, on July 30th, the renowned and award-winning musicians gathered in the band Zmaj Orko Star, composed of Zoran Majstorović, Borko Rupena, and Toni Starešinić, will perform in front of the audience at Barone Fortress in Šibenik!
The band was formed during the pandemic, and these three exceptional jazz musicians, winners of numerous awards for their work, explore the boundaries of the universe, their earthly roots, and the energy of movement in their trio. They discover new bridges guided by intuition, inspired by the moment, and with a completely free spirit. Is it jazz or is it rock? Such questions are unnecessary, but the answers will come at the concert on July 30th at 9 pm at Barone Fortress!
