Crossing by More Love Ensemble

On the evening of 15 December, the Embassy of Croatia and the Liszt Institute Brussels proudly presents More Love Ensemble with their new program Crossing, an extraordinary musical journey inspired by the treasures of Croatian classical music.

Blending heritage and innovation, the ensemble reimagines works by Luka Sorkočević, Dora Pejačević, Blagoje Bersa, Vatroslav Lisinski, Ivan Zajc, Ivo Tijardović, Jakov Gotovac, and Boris Papandopulo, breathing new life into them through inventive arrangements, improvisation, and a contemporary crossover sound.

The programme

Each piece is more than a performance,it is a story across time:

• The warmth of a sunlit field (Ray of Sunny Fields)
• The fleeting grace of a swallow (Swallow)
• The poetic bloom and wither of a carnation (The Life of a Carnation)
• The rhythm of the Adriatic coast (Fisherman’s Groove)
• The timeless call of liberty (Hymn to Freedom)
• A swan’s elegance from Dubrovnik’s past (Ragusian Swan)
• A playful buzzing transformed into music (The Fly)
• The shimmer of the Adriatic sea (Pearl of the Sea)

Together, they form a kaleidoscope of sound that bridges centuries and cultures.

The artists

The quintet unites some of Croatia’s most versatile musicians:

• Melita Lovričević – vocals, effects
• Marko First – acoustic & electric violin
• Luka Žužić – piano
• Enos Kugler – drums
