The Old City of Dubrovnik hosts the World Tourism Day - DSO Brass & Percussion Septet concert on 27 September 2026, with the performance set in front of St Blaise. The Croatian name Stari grad Dubrovnik identifies the historic centre on the Dalmatian coast, where the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra has scheduled the outdoor programme.
World Tourism Day concert reaches St Blaise on 27 September
The concert begins at 9pm on Sunday, 27 September 2026, according to the Dubrovnik Tourist Board event calendar. Its venue is listed as the area in front of St Blaise, placing the performance beside one of the best-known churches within the old city.
The published programme brings together a brass and percussion septet from the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra. The musicians are scheduled to perform arrangements of Henry Mancini themes, including The Pink Panther Theme, alongside tango repertoire connected with Buenos Aires and music by Astor Piazzolla. A further section is described as a tribute to roots, based on traditional songs and dances from the Dubrovnik region.
St Blaise links the concert to Dubrovnik’s historic core
St Blaise stands near Luža and the eastern end of Stradun, the principal street through the walled centre. The church is dedicated to Dubrovnik’s patron saint and forms part of the architectural setting in which the 27 September concert will take place.
UNESCO describes the Old City of Dubrovnik World Heritage site as a Dalmatian coastal settlement that became an important Mediterranean sea power from the thirteenth century. Its churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains preserve Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements. The site was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1979 and extended in 1994.
The location gives the concert a precise relationship with the heritage site rather than with Dubrovnik only as a wider destination. Visitors attending the performance will find the orchestra’s programme framed by the church, the square around Luža and the dense historic fabric of the old city.
What the 27 September programme means for visitors
The listing for the World Tourism Day concert provides a fixed date, time and venue. It does not state an admission price in the published calendar, so no price is included here.
