The Porto Etno Orchestra can be considered the music foundation of the Festival: ever since the Festival’s first edition in 2017, the Orchestra has been performing at every Porto Etno. In addition to accompanying numerous guests, the Orchestra also performs their songs.

This year, the festival orchestra will be accompanied by Ether and Čipkice, who will sing their hits in completely new arrangements, the lineup is not yet complete…

Ether – Nikol Ćaćić, a Croatian musician, has had a passion for music since her early days, which led her to write songs and perform. She used the support of the Istrian County to found the band NLV, with whom she released an EP and an LP that won positive reviews. After years of searching for her own musical expression, she launched the solo project ETHER and released her debut album Bitke na makovim poljima in 2022. The album quickly attracted the attention of the audience and critics and brought her three nominations for the Independent Journalist Award Rock&Off, including the award for best electronic artist in the category Electro&Off.
