Vječna luč mog postojanja
Osmijeh s nebesa
Mudra rijeko sveprisutnih emocija
Ona tiha suzo nekanuta
Neumorni osmijehu mog lica
Daješ mi moć da grlim svijet
I da gladim duše umorne
I kad vape i kad se smiješe
Ti si moć sadašnjeg trenutka
I svekolike vječnosti
Volim Te glazbo jer si odraz
Stvoritelja
I dokaz da se čovjeku
On neprestano smiješi
Volim Te jer si mi dala krila
jer si svakome jasna
jer si oduvijek sa mnom bila,
I potom opet
Kad se stiša buka
I kad se poremete svete tišine
Kad utihnu sve melodije
I svaki taj očajni ljudski krik
Potom opet
Zemljina utjeho
Sempre da capo
Nastupaš ti.
Ivana Marija Vidović, 5.8.2015.
Lumière éternelle de mon existence
Sourire du ciel
Sage fleuve de toutes les émotions
Larme silencieuse retenue
Sourire infatigable de mon visage
Tu me donnes le pouvoir d'étreindre le monde
De caresser les âmes lassées
Qu'elles sourient ou qu'elles geignent
Tu es la force du moment présent
De l'éternité multiple
Je t'aime Musique car tu es le reflet du Créateur
Qu'il sourit perpétuellement à l'homme
Je t'aime car tu m'as donné des ailes
Car tu es claire pour tous
Car tu étais avec moi au commencement
Et après encore
Quand le vacarme se calme
Quand les silences sacrés se troublent
Quand toutes les mélodies se taisent
Et tout cri de désespoir
Après encore
Consolation de la Terre
Sempre da capo
Tu entres en scène.
Traduit par Cornelia et Ivana Marija
The eternal light of my existence
A smile from the heavens
A wise river of emotion,
a quiet tear
Tireless smile on my face
You give me the power to embrace the world
And to stroke each tired souls
whether it cries or smiles
You are the power of the present moment
And of eternity
I love you music because you are a reflection
of the Creator
And the proof that he keeps smiling
to men
I love you because you gave me wings
because you are clear
and you've always been with me,
And then again,
When the noise fades away
and the sacred silence is gone
And when all these miserable human screams
have calmed down
oh you, consolation to the earth
Sempre da capo
you perform.

Kada se udruže emocije, želja, talent, predani rad, uzajamno poštovanje, neizmjerna ljubav prema glazbi te dugo poznantsvo koje seže u dane odrastanja i obrazovanja u Dubrovniku na školi Luke Sorkočevića, onda uspjeh ne može izostati.
Tako se u subotu 26. kolovoza na središnjem trgu u Puli na prelijepom Pulskom forumu pred stotinama prisutnih zaključila još jedna, druga po redu edicija Međunarodnog festivala klasične glazbe pod umjetničkim ravnanjem orguljašice i osnivačice festivala, Puležanke Andreje Milohanić koja festival vodi s velikim entuzijazmom i trudom. Organizator festivala je Istarski Kulturni Sabor (IKS) kojem je Milohanić i predsjednica. Festival se održava pod visokim pokroviteljstvom Grada Pule. Bio je to glazbeni maraton na rekli bi s pravom, višem ili patricijskom platou Rimskog foruma u Puli koji je združio čak sedam zemalja kroz svoj glazbeni izričaj. Dvije Dubrovkinje, nekoć profesorica Vesna Miletić i učenica Ivana Marija Vidović, danas kolegice i prijateljice združile su se u pijanistički duo četveroručno i izvele djela Mendelssohna, Dvořka, Schuberta, Schumanna, Ramovša, Satieja. Za kraj, uz burni aplauz brojne publike dodale su dodatak Andante iz 3.simfonije Luke Sorkočevića u uredbi B.Vlaheka te tako odale počast svom Dubrovniku ali i Umjetničkoj školi gdje su se prije više od 20 godina u učionici broj 20 druile uz glazbu u svojstvu profesorice i učenice. I dok je jedan od najstarijih hrvatskih trgova Pulski Forum, u svoj svojoj raskoši blistao s krasnom pozornicom, odličnim klavirom i instrumentima, a ono najvažnije s vrsnim glazbenicima koji su se svi stopili u jednu fenomenalnu glazbenu obitelj, Augustov hram građen između 4. i 14. godine i drevni kompleks prekrasnih građevina trga koji svjedoči zavidnu povijest još od osnutka rimske kolonije Pole, zračio je neopisivom ljepotom koja šutke već više od dva milenija svjedoči o nepresušnim vrijednostima naše bogate i burne povijesti.
Zadovoljstvo nije krila ni umjetnička direktorica festivala izjavivši:
"Ima li divnije veze od one neraskidive između profesorice i učenice! Prava je sreća biti okružen ljudima koji prepoznaju ideju i koji čine sve što je u njihovoj moći da i drugi vide kako je to kad kreativna ma།ta čini čarobno svašta! Osjećaj je toliko velik da ne stane ni u najmoćniju riječ svijeta! Vidimo se dogodine još bolji, kreativniji i inovativniji!"

After concerts in Italy and Croatia Ivana appeared at the prestigious Rovinj Summer Festival's 22nd edition. Performed with duo Vidovic - Garcia in completely full st.Francis church in Rovinj. "Thank you Rovinj for the marvellous hospitality, thanks to the artistic director Katja Markotic for this amazing opportunity and my colleague Borja Ordonez Garcia who came all the way from Spain to perform with me.
90 mins recital with no break and few encores was as an "dott on I" to a current tremendous heat! Come back for more photos soon from this amazing experience..."

Ivana has taken part in a very important event last week in Milan. At the initiative of the Croatian General Consulate in Milan and a humanist and friend, the Italian lawyer Cristian Pambianchi a Memorial to the greatest Croatian scientist of all times, Ruder Boskovic was finally set. This ceremonial act was musically enriched by the duo Vox Ragusei: the mezzo-soprano Diana Hilje and the pianist Ivana Marija Vidovic who at the beginning of the ceremony interpreted the both hymns and after revealing the memorial on the front of the church of Santa Maria Podone where the scientist was buried (12.2.1787) they performed a recital with carefully chosen programme for such event. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to make this event glorious indeed.
Thanks for the great honour that you have entrusted us with.
