FOR THE LOVE OF SONG (JU TE SAN SE ZAJUBIJO)
Klapa Kartolina is inviting you to an event that will take place on Friday, April 12 in Windsor, at 7:30 p.m. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of our ensemble, we will hold a multimedia performance at the Capitol Theater, which will include the premiere of a short documentary film about Klapa Kartolina and a singing performance by our three ensembles; Kartolina, Fritule and Berekin.
The documentary film is a short retrospective of our work, in which our two videos will be premiered; Poljička and Hallelujah. The song Poljička describes the history and beauty of Poljica, a historic and independent principality that existed in the area between Split and Omiš from the 13th to the 19th century, where our klapa story from the Croatian diaspora is interwoven through the video clip. The song plays a significant role in our work as the debut musical arrangement of our director Višnja Tijardović (text by A. Mekinić), and the premiere performance will be dedicated to the upcoming St. George day, the patron saint of Poljica. The song Hallelujah is an a cappella cover of Leonard Cohen’s famous song, where the arrangement and the third verse in the Croatian language are also the work of our director Višnja Tijardović. This video is an homage to the life and work of Leonard Cohen and in it you can see motifs influenced by his video works and religious motifs, inspired by the verses of the third verse, which is based on our understanding of faith. Both videos were shot on locations in Croatia and Canada, and you can see a photo gallery from the videoshoot on our website.
As part of the program, a video of the church choir of the Croatian parish of St. Francis of Assisi of Windsor will be shown as well, with whom we are connected in many ways. At the end of the program, we will have a social gathering and a reception in the theater cafe, where Hors d’oeuvres will be served, which are included in the ticket price, and drinks will be available for purchase at the bar. This project has been made possible with the support of the Central State Office for Croats outside the Republic of Croatia. We would like to thank everyone who participated, contributed and supported us in making this project, firstly our families, and then; Reginald Tiessen, Elizabeth Graham, Ivan Perić, Josip Rogošić, Ante Mekinić, Goran Mikas, Mira and Ante Kuvačić, Don Ante Mateljan and the Cathedral of St. Domnius Split, Windsor Shaar Hashomayim congregation, Windsor Airport Authority, Photo Studio Iris Ban and Antonio Stipinović.

Klapa Kartolina Vas poziva na događaj koji će se održati u petak 12. travnja u Windsoru, u 19:30 sati. Povodom 10. obljetnice rada klape, održati ćemo multimedijalnu predstavu u Capitol Teatru koja će uključivati premijerno prikazivanje kratkog dokumentarnog filma o klapi Kartolina i pjevačkog nastupa naših triju klapa; Kartolina, Fritule i Berekin.
Dokumentarni film je sažeta retrospektiva našeg rada u kojem će biti premijerno prikazana naša dva video spota; Poljička i Hallelujah. Pjesma Poljička opisuje povijest i ljepote Poljica, povijesne i samostalne knežije koja je postojala na području između Splita i Omiša od 13. do 19. stoljeća, a kroz video spot se isprepliće i naša klapska priča iz hrvatske dijaspore. Pjesma ima značajnu ulogu u našem radu kao debitantski glazbeni aranžman naše voditeljice Višnje Tijardović (tekst A. Mekinić), a premijerna izvedba će biti posvećena nadolazećem danu sv. Jurja, sveca zaštitnika Poljica. Pjesma Hallelujah je a’cappella obrada poznate pjesme Leonarda Cohena, gdje je aranžman i treća kitica na hrvatskom jeziku također uradak naše voditeljice Višnje Tijardović. Ovaj video spot je hommage životu i radu Leonarda Cohena i u njemu se vide motivi nadahnuti njegovim video uradcima i religioznim motivima, potaknuti stihovima treće kitice, koja se temelji na našem poimanju vjere. Oba video spota su snimana na lokacijama u Hrvatskoj i Kanadi, a na našoj web stranici možete vidjeti i foto galeriju sa snimanja.
U sklopu programa biti će prikazan i video spot crkvenog zbora hrvatske župe Sv. Franje Asiškog iz Windsora, s kojim smo povezani na puno načina. Po završetku programa imati ćemo zajedničko druženje i domjenak u kavani teatra, gdje će biti posluženi hors d’oeuvres koji su uključeni u cijenu ulaznice, te piće koje će se moći kupiti na baru. Ovaj projekt je ostvaren uz potporu Središnjeg državnog ureda za Hrvate izvan Republike Hrvatske. Zahvaljujemo svima koji su sudjelovali, doprinijeli i podržali nas u izradi ovog projekta, u prvom redu našim obiteljima, a zatim slijedom; Reginald Tiessen, Elizabeth Graham, Ivan Perić, Josip Rogošić, Ante Mekinić, Goran Mikas, Mira i Ante Kuvačić, don Ante Mateljan i katedrala Sv.
