The event that started in the sunrise of the first day of summer ended at night in the combination of genres of chamber music, rock and roll and crossover. The festival lasted for four days (from June 21 to June 24), and on the final day the visitors were able to enjoy the open air stage and diverse program, from Sabre Dancing to baroque Vivaldi, Beethoven, Piazzola and rhythms of tango with Macedonian, Greek, Russian and Hungarian undertones.
The main attraction of the night was the legendary band formed in 1978, Srebrna krila (Silver Wings), whose very first album went diamond.

In the end, Ana played the European anthem Ode to Joy where the cello stands for choir.
The magnificent venue of the former disco Divinae Follie went alive again and offered people of Dubrovnik and their visitors a true audio and visual spectacle. The location itself is perfect for such events and definitely added the perfect closure to the story of the evening.
Ana Rucner could not hide her satisfaction with the brilliant festival and the response from Dubrovnik audience to her concerts so she used the opportunity to express her gratitude to all and to tell them she is coming back to the City next year.
