Svebor Sečak, the president of the Croatian Society of Professional Ballet Artists, together with the CNT in Zagreb and the Department of Composition and Music Theory of the Academy of Music in Zagreb launched a biennial project called Platform of Young Choreographers and Composers that carries the name of the master of Croatian and world contemporary ballet art Milko Šparemblek.
The project is designed as a combination of excellence, innovation and contemporaneity and the goal of the Platform is to promote young artists and stimulate domestic creativity. Young ballet dancers appeared in choreographies of rising young authors from the Zagreb Ballet ensemble created to the music of young and recognised composers of Croatian serious music from the Academy of Music in Zagreb.
Choreographers participating in the first edition of the Platform of Young Choreographers and Composers Milko Šparemblek were Mattia Baccon, Mario Diligente, Taiguara Goulart, Ozana Mirković Blokar, Arnau Velasquez Rodriguez and Vid Vugrinec who worked with 25 dancers of the CNT in Zagreb to the music of Lovro Stipčević, Lovro Žagar, Tin Ujević, Vigo Kovačić, Ivan Hlebić and Ivan Makar. The premiere of the Platform took place on July 8, 2025 at the CNT in Zagreb.
