Svetlica – A Storytelling Concert
Sreda, 18. december, ob 18. uri

Through ancient chants and stories, musician Zvezdana Novaković and storyteller Maša Budič will carry us into the vast realms of fairy tales.

Walk onward toward the east. You will come to a mountain, so tall and so wide that not even a giant could cross it. On this mountain stands an icy bed, and in it sleeps a golden star, dreaming. It dreams of wide pastures, long rivers, deep wells, poplars and chestnut trees. And of fairies, dragons, and shepherds who dance beneath them as if carried by the wind.
Through ancient melodies and tales, we journey into the land of Bulgaria.

We are never too old for fairy tales, so all generations are warmly invited!

The event is organised with Valvasorjevo knjižnico Krško, unit Kostanjevica na Krki.

Free admission!
