Daytime · Zadar

Excursion to Zadar

A guided journey through Zadar with a certified local tour guide, recognised with a national award for the craft of guiding. We walk the old town together and let the city set the tone for the evening.

Zadar waterfront

The Sea Organ

On Zadar's waterfront we visit the Sea Organ, where waves and wind play through stone steps. Every swell sounds different, so the instrument is never played the same way twice.

We then meet its architect, Nikola Bašić, and hear how the sea was turned into a musician.

Late afternoon

The sea will play

As the sea plays through the organ, a live ensemble improvises beside it, entering a true dialogue with the waves, the wind and the music.

Evening

In the evening we move to II Palaces in Zadar for the opening concert of the International Bach Music Healing Program.

During the summit

Music as a source

Homeopathic remedies made from Bach's music already exist. Dr. Leszek Podzerski from Poland recorded Bach in organ halls and prepared remedies from these recordings. During the summit, several remedies will be made from this concert.

There are observations that different passages of Bach's music may relate to different states.

Woven through the day

On film

The 1 Field team will film the day as part of the documentary Field of Frequencies. Filming will also be done for the Adria Hearts social channels.

One day, one city, and music played by the sea itself.

Measured, not assumed

This is not just a concert. It also opens the International Bach Music Healing Program, and scientists accompany the evening with their own instruments.

Measurement session with the Bio-Well device

HeartMath sensors follow heart coherence, Prof. Konstantin Korotkov's Bio-Well and Sputnik devices observe changes in the energetic state of participants and of the space, and readings are planned before, during and after the performance, from the audience and from the musician himself. The intention is simple: not to assume what music does, but to observe it together.
