Musical Vaults of Belgrade

Six seasons (2015 – 2021) of history, architecture, and top-tier art.

Musical Vaults of Belgrade

Composers' Letters

A famous thematic unit through which we revived the correspondence of musical geniuses. It includes concert-performances: Quod Fatum (Tchaikovsky), Amadeus, and Chopin and George Sand.

Culture of Remembrance

We particularly highlight the project "Crystal Night" (later "Letters of the Executed"), performed over multiple seasons at the Banjica Concentration Camp Museum, dedicated to nurturing the culture of remembrance.

About the project

The Musical Vaults of Belgrade represent a capital project of the Cultural Element, which for six full seasons revived the historical and cultural spaces of the capital.

The founder and conceptual creator of the season is pianist and music editor Dina Čubrilović (married Miletić). A significant collaborator from the Belgrade City Museum on this project was Dragana Latinčić, advisor from the Residence of Princess Ljubica. Over six seasons, a total of 26 projects were successfully realized, enthusiastically attended by over 16,000 people.

The project was conceived so that a dedicated event is created around current exhibitions, directly corresponding to the artistic achievements of the institutions where it is performed. Over the years, we have performed at the Residence of Princess Ljubica, Paja Jovanović Museum, the main building of the Belgrade City Museum in Resavska before its reconstruction, the Banjica Concentration Camp Museum, Ivo Andrić Museum, as well as in almost all current museums operating within the Belgrade City Museum.

In addition to its exceptional reception by the domestic audience, the project also achieved notable international success. The play "Letters of the Executed" crowned this edition with a guest performance at the Cultural Center of Serbia in Beijing, presenting our cultural heritage and artistic achievements to an international audience.
