On 29 July, Mirine will resonate with the sound of one of the most dynamic instruments in the hands of a true master. Ivan Šverko, internationally acclaimed virtuoso of the classical accordion, brings to Sepen Bay a programme that challenges perceptions and reveals the full orchestral potential of his instrument.
Within the remarkable acoustics of the early Christian basilica, the accordion, in Šverko’s hands, is transformed from an accompanying instrument into a powerful sonic force. His interpretations, ranging from Baroque precision to contemporary expressiveness, make full use of the natural resonance of the ancient stone walls, filling every corner of the historic site with sound. It is a meeting of supreme technical mastery and the tranquil grandeur of Sepen Bay, where one artist and one instrument create the richness and depth of an entire ensemble.
Renowned for his artistry and innovative approach, Ivan Šverko invites audiences to rediscover the accordion through a programme that highlights its remarkable versatility and expressive power. Against the timeless backdrop of Mirine, every note becomes part of a dialogue between music, history and nature.
Join us and experience how the modern accordion brings the ancient walls of Sepen to life.
Admission is free.
