The respected British musician stopped at Zagreb’s Vatroslav Lisinski hall, where he held a concert with Edin Karamazov.

Edin Karamazov was born in Zenica in 1965. He came to Zagreb to attend the Academy of Music, but it was not enough for his needs. He found luck in Basel where he enrolled in the Schol Cantorum Basiliensis in 1993, where Hopkinson Smith lectured to him. He cooperated with the best international ensembles for his early music, and he recorded his first solo album on the lute called “Come Heavy Sleep” in 2003.
Sting came to Zagreb as a part of his world tour “Songs From The Labyrinth”, and the he was joined by the lute player who lives in Zagreb, Edin Karamazov in the Vatroslav Lisinski concert hall. In 2006 they recorded a joint album that broke records for classic music sales, and now they have performed it live to the Croatian public.

Even though tickets were sold at prices of 500, 600 and 700 kuna, the capacity of the Lisinski hall, of 1,800 seats, was sold out two weeks before the concert. It is a shame that one world famous musician, and one world class musician did not have the opportunity to perform in a larger hall, because they would have certainly filled it with their music.

This way only those with thicker wallets had the opportunity to hear Sting live, the rest of us will have to be content by looking at the atmosphere at the concert held in Zagreb in the photo gallery: String Only for Those With Thicker Wallets and Sting Leaves Zagreb.
