Kruna
DonisArt proposes for 2012 a new KRUNA expression, in the elegant Reduta theatre hall from Brasov, a location ready to receive those friends from all places who value and wish to make the difference between a normal concert and an art show. Moreover, KRUNA is addressed to those people who are open to new, atypical musical experiences and who want to enjoy in peculiar conditions the expression of some talented and inspired musicians. During 3 Special Evenings, KRUNA 2012 brings us 9 bands from 8 European countries, stylistically different, therefore:
- 3 bands return to Romania with new representations;
- 4 bands will hold their first concert ever;
- 2 bands come to Romania for the first time to present their friends one of their few concerts;
ARCTURUS, Norway (Avantgarde Black Metal)
ATOMA, Sweden (Experimental Metal Rock)
DIRTY GRANNY TALES, Greece (Dark Theatrical Music and Dance Puppets Theatre)
CECILIA EYES, Belgium (Instrumental Post-Rock)
EVERY SILVER LINING HAS A CLOUD, France (Romantic Post-Rock)
KAUAN, Russia (Melancholic Atmospheric Ambient)
ROME, Luxembourg (Melodramatic Neofolk)
SYVEN, Finland (Shamanic Ambient Waves)
SLUMBER, Sweden (Melodic Doom Death Metal)
The 9 bands will perform in 3 different Saturdays:
KRUNA Marta (March 31);
KRUNA Pratar (May 5);
KRUNA Neios (December 8);
The division of bands can be viewed here:
DonisArt doesn't encourage ticket pre-sale nor the financial advantages that might deviate from this customary artifice. But the reservations made at the following address will have priority: krunafest@gmail.com. In case there will be available tickets left, after ticket depletion, these will be sold exclusively at the entrance, in the event's evening, to availability of seats.
Reservations can be made only a month before the so-called event. On other hand, those attending all 3 editions will have priority on the reservation list.
We will return with details about the means of reservation and the ticket price for KRUNA Marta in a few weeks.
After the concerts, the local partner Next Dream Event will offer those attending the chance to party together with the artists until morning, in a club reserved exclusively for KRUNA attendees.
We are reminding you that all 9 bands come to Romania exclusively for KRUNA and wish to enjoy, next to the ones interested, a fairytale-like weekend.
And the surprises will keep coming…
A Beautiful, Artistic New Year filled with power and inspiration!
With friendship,

KRUNA… 2012… a new trinity!
Dear friends,
This year DonisArt released a new concept for fans familiar with similar sequences and not only: KRUNA… the music bible! A honest concept of promoting atypical quality music, without compromises or conditionings, where the musicians, the public, the press and organizers made an unitary whole, without any kind of differences or highlights.
There were 3 editions different as musical styles, but identical as structure, shape and dynamic, framed on Saturday, in those "2 hours set in stone", in Kulturhaus club from Bucharest.
KRUNA already imprinted itself in the minds of present ones and the concept seemed to resonate with those supporting atypical quality sounds.
Sincere thanks to all who understood that music can't exist without musician, these without public and public without organizers… And they rendered by attending these events, acquiring personalized musical accessories and greeting artists in their own way. The support was unconditional and the beauty of memories will keep lingering in their minds… actually, in ours, in everyone's who were present!
For the following year, DonisArt sets out to change the structural landmarks of this concept, but keeping the accent on musical diversity and respect towards friends. Moreover, the quality will keep prevailing quantity and the details will make the difference, as always…
Therefore:
- in 2012, there will be 3 distinct editions, all chosen to take place in the evening if Saturday:
KRUNA Marta (March 31);
KRUNA Pratar (May 5);
KRUNA Neios (December 8);
- the capital will be replaced with a fairytale like city where DonisArt enjoyed beautiful musical joints: Brasov;
- the minimalist club will be replaced by an elegant theatre hall, a perfect location for an authentic Show's evening: Reduta Cultural Centre;
- the "2 hours set in stone" will turn into a unique Special Evening, comfortable as time and space;
- a larger number of more or less known bands will perform, for the first time in Romania or who will have something new to show the audience, all musicians being brought only by DonisArt;
- the artists will exclusively come for KRUNA and will be more than happy to meet up with new and old friends, sharing at least a drink;
- the bands will bring with themselves musical accessories that will be available at personalized stands;
- the location's capacity will allow a fair but limited friends to attend KRUNA evenings… but the reservations made at krunafest@gmail.com will have priority;
- the events will be hosted by Next Dream Event, the local partner who is more than glad to become the trustful guide from Brasov for all those interested in logistic details and not only… next.dream.event@gmail.com;
Most likely that this KRUNA "trinity", together with DBE 4, will be the only invitations DonisArt sets out to make in 2012 to all the beautiful souls who wish to escape the ordinary, to spend an abnormally normal weekend, in a pleasant environment but also in a cordial company.
Specific details will follow in few days!
With friendship,
DonisArt

DonisArt wishes to present the supporters of the Underground musical Spirit with a new concept, entitled KRUNA.
What is KRUNA? Well it is a simple word game, which does not involve much abstract denotation, but nevertheless wishes to give birth to a new form of artistic expression, one that will be blended with the structure of a well defined event, with a clear purpose, targeting the connoisseur or just people who are opened to new experiences.
The concept behind KRUNA (…the music bible!) is based on a stable frame with well set landmarks and strives to achieve the status of an unique event by offering:
- One night per week: Saturday
- An elegant venue: Kulturhaus, Bucharest
- A fixed schedule: 19.30-21.30
- Ticket price: 30 lei
- A single band: Promoting new material
- Official merchandise stand: Personalized and specific to the band.
DonisArt is preparing for the last part of 2011 a selection of KRUNA editions, completely different in musical approach and at the same time extremely rare for the Romanian concert market. The Underground touch will be a very important part of this concept and those participating will be enjoying 2 intimate hours, spent in an excellent location and a select community, specific to the bands.
“It’s not our intent to compete with anyone, we do not enjoy, nor care about being catalogued or compared, it’s not our intent to promote only certain music styles nor is it to step away from the Underground scene, even if the semantics of these words can leave the door open for useless (or useful) debates about music style, band visibility, attitude, perception or behavior… Here we are merely trying to support something that we truly consider not only to be an original and beautiful way of expression, but honest endeavors, artists dedicated to their own dreams and obsessions…we search, we discover, we probe, we experiment and develop… and last but not least, we would be so happy if we could frame a platform made out of friends who believe in what we are trying to do, and at the same time to bring to Romania – into interesting venues or picturesque locations, holding on to our standards and provide civilized conditions – innovative bands and artists that are less promoted than others from the same category, but who want to know us unconditionally!!” DonisArt
The concept of KRUNA represents a new identity DonisArt is presenting to the public, after the Special Evenings launched in 2008 (16 events: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkYIU5o11H0).
Punctuality and respecting the schedule are fundamental points for KRUNA and the success of the editions to come will depend exclusively upon the starting hour, 19.30. After 21.30, the band will remain in Kulturhaus but the club gates will be opened for the normal Saturday clubbing goings-on’s.
It’s important to mention that the bands are coming exclusively for the KRUNA editions and are willing to stay and chat with friends and possible fans.
The program for the first KRUNA editions shall be announced in a few weeks.
The DonisArt team,
The 19th of May, 2011.
