A charity concert, “Heart in the Heart of Zagreb,” was held on Monday evening at the packed Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall in memory of Anamarija Carević, the sole victim of the Zagreb earthquake, whose fifth anniversary we are marking. It was an event filled with gratitude and hope, prayer and song, a testimony of faith and unity.

The concert, held under the high patronage of the Government of the Republic of Croatia and the Croatian Parliament, was organized by the “Anamarija Carević” Foundation, which bears the name of a wonderful girl who left us too soon and preserves the memory of her, a parishioner of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Palmotićeva Street. The funds raised will be directed towards completing the renovation of our Basilica, affectionately known as “Palma”, and the construction of the “Anamarija Carević” pastoral center, which will become a place of meeting, prayer and growth in faith for new generations. 

Anamarija's life and spiritual legacy were celebrated in song by: the Academic Choir of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus "Palma", the Academic Male Choir of the Faculty of Arts, the Academic Choir of the Faculty of Philosophy "Concordia discors", and the Choir "Izvor" of the Parish of St. Joseph . In addition to the musical part, an exhibition of works by academic painters and sculptors was set up in the lobby of Lisinski, who supported the mission of the Foundation with their artistic works.

The concert was attended by many distinguished guests, including the Apostolic Nuncio to the Republic of Croatia, Mons. Giorgio Lingua, the Minister of Culture and Media, Nina Obuljen Koržinek , and representatives of the Church and social life. The Minister emphasized that we remember Anamarija not only as a victim, but also as a light that inspires. “ She left a mark of love, unity, and faith, and her Foundation continues to pass that light on ,” she said.

The "Anamarija Carević" Foundation continues its work with the mission of restoring the Basilica, building a pastoral center, but also supporting the spiritual growth of all involved in this mission and the most important thing - preserving the memory of Anamarija
