This picture shows the south side of the ampitheater at Pula, Croatia.

This four hundred year old church is  in the oldest part of Pula, close to the harbor area. The bell tower next to it is very impressive..

This street is on the  opposite end of the plaza from the church.

A Roman building in Pula, Croatia that has no windows. There is a  large plaza in front of it that is lined on three sides by small businesses.

This carved monument stands to the right of the door.

Nancy is standing at the the back  of the Roman building.

Bob, Nancy and Nancy climb an old rock street  up to the fort that overlooks Pula's old town..

This street  circles below the hilltop fortress.

Nancy, Nancy, and Bob finally arrived at the fortress.  The Croatian  flag is flying.  Henry wanted to climb the tower in the background but the gate was closed..

From the backside of the fortress Henry could see the top of the amphitheater.

Henry and Bob explored around the fortress and found this small Roman amphitheater.

Henry took this picture of a passage into the amphitheater.

This program began three days of music in Ljubljana.  This concert was held in the Ljubljanski Castle. The hall was filled to capacity. Here is seen Dusan Bavdek, the composer of a piece of music performed by the Amadeus String Orchestra and Zoran Markovic, who played the double bass.

Another composer leaving after receiving his recognition.

Marko Mihevc was the composer, Tatjana Kaucic   the pianist, and Dusan Sodja the clarinetist.

Thursday, March 22,2001, the Slovenian Philharmonic Chamber String Orchestra played in St. Jakob Church. When the members came into the church they were dressed in eighteenth century  costumes.  We were surprised, but it could have been written in the announcement.  This picture shows the altar of the church before the concert.  This church  was built by the Jesuits in the beginning of the 17th century and renovated at the end of the century after a fire and then again in 1895 after an earthquake.

The orchestra entering the front of the church.

The man in light blue is Zoran Markovic. We didn't know the other players.  The performance was excellent.

He's the man! This is after the concert and Zoran  had been talking to his friend.  He kindly agreed to  let us take his picture .

Isn't this a great picture.!  The past and the present.  So  now for the music lovers: the pieces played were Beethoven's String Quintet in E-flat major.op4, Amandus Ivancic-Symphony in D major(edited by Danilo Pokorn)and and Ignaz Pleyel-Sinfonia concertante in B-flat major for violin, viola and chamber orchestra.

Mr. Danilo Pokorn is a retired musicologist. He was present for the music at St. Jakob and the piece that he had edited . He is a very nice gentleman.

This  is Katica, who introduced us to Mr. Pokorn.  She is  a paleantologist at the University of  Ljubljana.

The organ is over the entrance of St.Jakob.  Even in the poor light it looks beautiful.

The right side of the orchestra on Friday evening.

The conductor, Lovrenc Arnic, received three ovations..

We apologize for the shakiness, but we wanted to show the choir that sang with the orchestra.

Here is the triumphant conductor and the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra.  The piece was Symphony No. 3, (Duma) for baritone, mixed choir and orchestra. The composer was Blaz Arnic.   The entire day had been spent by the international symposium participants in Ljubljana talking about Blaz Arnic, his music and poetry.
