INTIMATE: SARA RENAR
Summer is a time for music that doesn’t need to be loud.
The first July evening of this year’s Intimno series belongs to Sara Renar, one of the most distinctive and compelling voices of the contemporary regional music scene. The Zagreb-based musician, poet, performer, and multimedia artist has spent over a decade building a unique sonic world at the intersection of intimate songwriting, electronics, poetry, and bold sonic experimentation.
With her new album Nježne riječi (Gentle Words), Sara Renar opens a space for stories about language, belonging, tenderness, and resistance. Described as an exploration of gentleness as a form of defiance, the album moves between Croatian and English, between the personal and the political, between fragility and strength.
At a time when art is often expected to be fast, easily defined, and instantly appealing, Nježne riječi insists on slowness, complexity, and sensitivity.
Over the past years, Sara Renar has released seven albums, received numerous nominations and Porin awards, and performed more than five hundred concerts across Europe and the region. Yet regardless of the size of the stage, her music finds its strongest expression in intimate settings—where her rare ability to create closeness between performer and audience can truly unfold.
Intimno is a series of acoustic and singer-songwriter concerts in the Summer Garden, where for a few hours we step away from the noise of the world, sit close to the stage, and listen a little more carefully.
