The program will consist out of a carnival parade (that is both for kids and adults) and a party (a party that will signal the end of the Carnival) that will take place in the carnival tent by the Sports center in which you’ll be able to eat/drink and listen to some good music. The parade will start at 2pm from the new City Market towards Kolodvor street and onwards to Hrvatski Branitelji street and will end at the Sports Center. At 3pm the traditional on-stage group introductions will take place (inside the previosly mentioned tent). In case of bad weather the parade won’t be marching through the city but the rest will take place as scheduled.
The Carnival parade will again (as it does every year) bring back to the streets of Kutina the carnival traditions, songs, dances and craziness in general. And carnival preparations, carnival masks and all around having fun and socializing under the mask has its own special magic. So if you want to taste some of tha magic come to Kutina on the 18th of February.

ROBY LAKATOS ENSEMBLE in Rijeka (February, 2012)
Roby Lakatos is not just a violin virtuoso but an artist of extraordinary versatility. Equally skilled in performing classical music, jazz or folklore idiom of his fatherland Hungary! This is an artist very hard to describe..the brave usually try to describe him as a gypsy violinist, devil’s fiddler, the classical master, jazz improvisator, composer & arranger. All the previously mentiond is true and contained within this trully remarkable personality yet it doesn’t describe him fully.
Today Roby Lakatos Ensemble (with the exception of Roby Lakatos & Lászlo Bóni) is populated by young virtuosi of their respective instruments. But I’m not gonna go into the ensemble details too much..cause frankly it’s not important..music is what is important here..so i’m just gonna skip now to the concert info you’ll be needing (but before that I have a few vids to show )..
Roby Lakatos and his ensamble playing Monti Csardas
Roby Lakatos – Romania from the album Klezmer Karma
Concert info:
Roby Lakatos Ensemble will have their concert in HKD Sušak in the city of Rijeka (address: Strossmayerova 1, 51000 Rijeka) (Croatia) on the 7th of February 2012. The concert starts at 8pm.
Ticket info:
You can buy the tickets online: http://www.eventim.hr/hr/ulaznice/roby-lakatos-ensemble-rijeka-hkd-susak-316824/performance.html
