- **Event Name**: Detroit Stars Spring Concert
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: The Detroit Stars Parents group warmly invites the greater Detroit Croatian community, all Detroit Star alumni, and anyone who supports culture, to join us in celebrating the First Day of Spring with the Detroit Star Junior Tamburitzans.  The Stars will celebrate their Spring Concert on Saturday March 21st, 2026, at our beautiful St. Lucy’s Croatian Catholic Church Hall in Troy, MI!  

The Spring season of new growth and renewal symbolizes a meaningful moment to witness the creative progress of our young Detroit Stars. This event will highlight the dedication and effort these performers have devoted over the past seven months, featuring songs, instrumental pieces, and dances that celebrate Croatian heritage. 

Since September, the children between the ages of 6 and 14, have gathered each week to learn and get ready for this yearly event.  The commitment that the kids have made, to honor their heritage amidst their busy and competing extra-curricular and athletic schedules, is something we cannot take for granted as a community.  The preservation of culture by our youth is vital to the continuity of the Detroit Croatian community and your support will encourage the children to continue in their cultural perpetuation. 
The group is presently guided in musical, vocal, dance, and artistic direction by Sonya Sestili, who has assisted the children in preparing an authentic and expressive repertoire for this year’s concert. 

The Stars are thrilled to welcome a special guest group from nearby Windsor, ON, Canada to add to the performance.  Klapa Kartolina is an a cappella ensemble dedicated to promoting klapa singing—the traditional Dalmatian vocal heritage recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Founded in 2013 in Windsor, Ontario, at the Croatian Catholic Parish of St. Francis of Assisi, the group has performed throughout Canada, the United States, and Croatia, including three appearances at the prestigious Festival of Dalmatian Klapa in Omiš. The ensemble is led by Artistic Director and first soprano Prof. Višnja Tijardović, an opera singer and graduate of the Academy of Music in Zagreb and the University of Windsor. The Detroit area is very fortunate to have such a talented and devoted group of Klapa artists right across the river in Canada, and their performance is sure to add an element of elegance to our event.   

Our audience in Detroit, who have a great appreciation for music, will undoubtedly enjoy their performance.    
Following the program, the Stars parents have planned a very festive party to commence immediately!  We will kick things off with a delicious home-cooked dinner prepared by the talented St. Lucy’s Croatian catering crew, who always manage to create a meal, not to be missed.  The bar will be flowing with plenty of drinks for purchase.  For dinner, dancing and entertainment throughout the evening, we are blessed to have entertainment by Jasenko Ivanetić &amp; Tamburaši.  If you attended the Stars’ Ćevapi dinner last year, you would remember the beautiful sounds that kept dance floor filled, and we plan to repeat that level of musicianship for our spring concert.   

Doors will open at 5 pm for cocktail hour.  The program will begin at 6 pm, with dinner and dancing immediately following.  Please note that there will be NO TICKETS SOLD AT THE DOOR for this event.
