Few people know that the distant Croatian island of Vis is home to four historic organs. Two of these instruments are in Komiža, including the oldest organ in Dalmatia, located in St. Mary’s Church, which dates back to 1670. The other two are in the town of Vis, one of which, in the Church of the Blessed Mary, was crafted by the Italian organ builder Ettore del Chiaro in 1886.
This story traces the journey of these organs, from being completely unplayable to their meticulous restoration at the First Croatian Art Workshop for Organ Construction, Heferer. After a decade-long process, they were returned to their original locations, restored to their full glory with magnificent sound.
Vox Humana was selected to be part of the programme on the first Tourism and Ethno Film festival – TEF in Krk, 2023. It was awarded a prize in the category of Best Director for a Ethno Film.
