Abstract

This paper discusses the Trieste Philharmonic Orchestra’s tour in Serbia in the spring of 1946 and its political connotations. A sketch of the orchestra’s foundation in the context of the concurrent political efforts to solve the Trieste question is then followed by a detailed outline of the journey itself, presented from the two points of view. First, the perspective of the Yugoslav authorities is illustrated and then an insight into musician’s everyday life during the tour is given.
