Medieval Music Festival "Medimus" Returns to Prizren

Prizren will host the 11th International Festival of Medieval Music, "Medimus," this weekend, transforming the atrium of the Church of the Holy Savior into a venue for historical melodies.

Sanja Đurić, an organizer, shared that the festival promises a diverse program featuring three distinguished ensembles. "This year, we have guests from abroad. Musicians from the USA, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy are coming to us," Đurić stated. The event will open on Saturday, August 29, with the ensemble Analogion, led by Germany's Mihail Eberle.

Following Analogion, audiences will have the opportunity to experience the duo "Leones," comprising Professor Marko Levan and his colleague Batista Roman, both returning to the Prizren festival. The festival will conclude on Sunday with a performance by an ensemble from Naples, led by the acclaimed artist Pepe Frana.

The unique setting of the Church of the Holy Savior, dating back to the 14th century, is a key feature of the festival. Đurić emphasized the special atmosphere created by performing music from the same era within its historical walls. "I think it's a special experience to listen to this kind of music in a space that originates from that epoch," she said, noting the audience's consistent enthusiasm for the event.
