Urban&4 i Camerata Novi Sad

Urban&4 and Camerata Novi Sad

Damir Urban i njegova Četvorka nastupiće poslednjeg festivalskog dana, 24. septembra u 20.30 časova u Srpskom narodnom pozorištu, uz prestižni novosadski gudački sastav Camerata Novi Sad. Koncert je prvobitno bio planiran za 22. septembar, ali je iz tehničkih razloga pomeren na 24. septembar.

Tokom skoro četiri decenije duge muzičke karijere, Damir Urban postao je sinonim za kvalitetnu i emotivnu muziku. Njegov put obuhvatio je različite stilove, čineći ga svestranim umetnikom i inovatorom na modernoj muzičkoj sceni, a sedmoj umetnosti približio se adaptacijom čuvene pesme Ne brini beogradske grupe U škripcu, za potrebe filma Dječaci iz ulice Marksa i Engelsa.

Sada već davne 1986. godine, grupa Laufer i pesma Budi moja voda dobili su nagradu Radija Velike Gorice te postali hit godine. Nedugo zatim, grupa započinje novo poglavlje pod nazivom Urban & 4, a njihov prvi album Otrovna kiša izlazi odmah nakon odlične saradnje sa riječkim sastavom En Face na pesmi S dlana Boga pala za koju osvajaju Porin, najugledniju hrvatsku muzičku nagradu.

Narednih godina, nagrade počinju da se nižu, pa je Urban sa svojim sastavom postao vlasnik nekoliko Porina, između ostalog, i za album Žena dijete koji se smatra remek-delom hrvatske muzike i jednim od deset najboljih albuma decenije.

Gudački sastav Camerata Novi Sad, koji čine najbolji mladi muzičari novosadske Akademije umetnosti, tokom dve decenije postojanja afirmisao se izvođenjima najzahtevnijih dela klasičnog repertoara, ali i brojnim uspesima koje je ostvario nastupajući sa renomiranim solistima.

Damir Urban and his band will perform on the final day of the festival, September 24, at 8:30 PM at the Serbian National Theatre, joined by the prestigious Novi Sad-based string ensemble, Camerata Novi Sad. The concert was originally scheduled for September 22 but was moved to September 24 due to technical reasons.

With a music career spanning nearly four decades, Damir Urban has become a symbol of quality and emotional depth in music. His artistic journey covers a wide range of styles, establishing him as a versatile artist and innovator on the modern music scene. He also bridged into film by adapting the iconic song Ne brini by the Belgrade band U Škripcu for the movie The Kids from Marx and Engels Street.

Back in 1986, the band Laufer and their song Budi moja voda won the Radio Velika Gorica award and became the hit of the year. Soon after, the band entered a new era under the name Urban & 4. Their debut album Otrovna kiša followed a successful collaboration with the Rijeka band En Face on the song S dlana Boga pala, which won a Porin – Croatia's most prestigious music award.

In the years that followed, Urban and his band garnered several Porin awards, including one for the album Žena dijete, which is widely considered a masterpiece of Croatian music and one of the ten best albums of the decade.

Camerata Novi Sad, composed of top young musicians from the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, has built a strong reputation over the past two decades. The ensemble is celebrated for its interpretations of complex classical repertoire and for its many successes performing alongside renowned soloists.
