The second Split Guitar Festival has almost reached its finals. The city of Dalmatian light notes has been enjoying the sounds of flamenco for the last six days. Concerts are held on the daily basis, every evening on new, permanent festival stage in the Museum of Croatian Archeological Monuments. Numerous master workshops and everyday guitar competitons held in the Split City Library, as well as the guitar fair which takes place in Gripe, make Split the city of guitar, at least for little less than a week. All of that would be impossible if it wasn't for Mensa medio, a firm from Solin which is responsible for the organization of the festival. And, of course, if it wasn't for Petar Čulić, young teacher working in music school in Omiš, who is responsible for bringing the famous guests and other things related to the field.. We have talked to Petar about the ongoing festival..

This new year brings new theatre challenges, and it will be opened on Monday with a concert by four young guitar players called ''Viva Guitar – Petar Čulić and friends''. It starts at 19.30 in the Foyer of the Croatian National Theatre in Split.  That was the reason Ana Jerković, journalist from Slobodna Dalmacija, talked to Petar Čulić, one of our greatest young talents who has received numerous awards and acknowledgements. He will perform some of the most beautiful guitar compositions exclusivelly for his Split audience.

New success of young Croatian Guitarist Petar Čulić

- The award-winning young guitarist from Dugi Rat, Petar Čulić, has added another award to his list of international and national acclaims - two gold medals from the 9th Winter Guitar Festival which took place in Volos, Greece from 4th till 7th January. He first won gold medal in the category of contestants born in 1986 and 1985, and then became the apsolute winner in the category with no age limit, leaving many older and by far more experienced guitarists behind. There are more than 100 solo concerts and recitals behind Petar. He has performed in Croatia and all over Europe, at many prestigious world festivals, such as last year's Norfolk and Norwich festival in great Britain.
