Dalibor Grubačević is an award-winning Croatian composer of film and concert music. He has received several major professional awards in his country and abroad. He is also a multifaceted artist of eclectic musical interests, whose work is best described by the contradictory label of an “unclassical classicist.” His compositions use classical orchestration combined with electronic sounds and instrumentation. Dalibor Grubačević is a full member of the Croatian Composers’ Society (HDS) and Croatian Freelance Artists’ Association (HZSU).
Besides film scores and features, documentary, commercial, and corporate soundtracks, Grubačević is interested in pop, rock, and ethnic music as much as classical writing. “Two Rivers”, his cantata in two parts (I: Drava and II: Mura), based on melodies and motifs from the regions of Podravina and Međimurje, has been performed around the world, from Canada, the United States, Japan, England, Italy, Israel, and Georgia, to the region (Macedonia, Montenegro), by the Simply Brass Quintet, whose album Camminate Grubačević has also produced. In 2012, they collaborated with the renowned American composer Eric Ewazen and Australian composer Alan Holley in 2014.
