You’ll be based in Opatija, a lovely coastal town on the Istrian Peninsula. This area is home to the unique Istrian scale, and folk music plays an important part in the local culture. A tourist hotspot, your ensemble will have the opportunity to perform to mixed audiences of international tourists and locals in beautiful churches, busy town squares and scenic sea promenades.
