We have also launched LAUS Master Concerts where, in addition to world-renowned artists, students of the academy also perform. This extremely valuable experience for both the participants and the audience was made possible by the excellent collaboration with the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra. We have also introduced new content such as Music Talks to discuss a variety of topics related to music with participants of the LAUS Academy, but also with the general public.
