Summary/Abstract: Jurica Murai, the late piano professor at the Music Academy in Zagreb, full member of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts and a renown Croatian pianist, played a major part on the music scene of Croatia and Europe in the second half of the 20th century. He was regularly present on the concert stages in Varaždin even before the well-known festival Varaždin Baroque Evenings became an annual event. He was a significant performer at the festival but also during the rest of the concert season. In the rich musical history of Varaždin Jurica Murai is recorded as a notable performer of the most demanding piano works who also made numerous records. His work in the research of the musical heritage of Varaždin is also highly appreciated.
