European Music of Montenegrin Cultural Diplomacy

Foundation through a multimedia format perform selected musical pieces from the National Museum’s library, written by European composers inspired by Montenegro in the end of the 19th century. Artists from Germany, Austria, Poland, Italy and France wrote compositions for various musical ensembles, scores are dedicated to Montenegro and members of the royal family of that era. These are exhibits that have not only an artistic value as musical writings of the romantic period, but also a historical one since they represent the cultural heritage of Montenegro and the country from which they originate. These notations were used in the cultural diplomacy of Europe.
The concert and exhibition are part of the “European Music of Montenegrin Cultural Diplomacy” project, which is being implemented by the Creative Women of Montenegro Foundation with the aim of revitalizing European-Montenegrin music and cultural heritage. In addition, with this project Foundation tackles the problem of the lack of research on the mentioned topic and the revival of the cultural diplomacy in Montenegro. The project is implemented within the framework of the ReLOaD2 program, financed by the European Union, and implemented by UNDP in cooperation with local governments, including the Capital of Cetinje.
