With a great concert in the full hall Park last night, the local music orchestra Djenovic marked its big jubilee, 100 years of existence and uninterrupted work. Nearly 40 musicians performed 13 compositions from all around the world, from marching and waltz to rock and roll, and then, invited by long audience applause, came back on encore three times.
"Founded in a modest way and by modest people, the local music Djenovic achieved much higher altitudes and much better results than anyone could have ever guessed. At all times it proudly represented its place of origin, Herceg Novi and Boka bay, inheriting the musical traditions of such orchestras and performing music of almost all genres from all over the world," said the president of the local orchestra Djenovic, Mirko Mustur.
He pointed out that the Jubilee is celebrating together with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Mimosa Festival, whose active participants have been from the very beginnings.
Mustur, on behalf of the local music Djenovic, thanked all who helped the orchestra survive, work and advance, who affirmed it and gave it the opportunity to show itself to the societies and orchestras with whom they cooperated for years, whose representatives were guests at the concert last night.
The oldest members of the Music orchestra, who have over 50 years of active playing - Janko Vukasovic and Djordje Odalovic, received special awards presented by Milos Vujnovic on behalf of the Assembly of the Society.
"I played 65 years in this music orchestra, and I received the biggest reward by playing here tonight," said Djordje Odalovic, when getting the plaque.
It is a great fortune for Herceg Novi to have two orchestras with over 100 years of tradition, which are side by side, emphasized after the concert, a member of the local music Djenovic, Milica Matovic.
"I'm still gathering impressions, I do not know what happened, but according to the audience's reaction, it seems to me that this is a great success," Matovic said.
Introduction to the concert was a film devoted to the history and future of the local music band Djenovic, and dance performances and a rock song supplemented the compositions that followed.
