Commemorative Session in Honor of Prof. Osman-Faruk Sijarić 1942 - 2021 Held

Osman-Faruk Sijarić, University of Sarajevo Music Academy professor passed away at the age of 78. He was one of the few people who could be proud of the multiple qualities of being a humanist, respected professor, Music Academy guardian during the war, polyglot, politician of democratic convictions, and protector of good and sensitive people. I have seldom known a man with so much attention to other people, without showing it openly but selflessly and with much care not to hurt another. [...]

Certainly Prof. Mr. Osman-Faruk Sijarić will be remembered in the musical life annals in Yugoslavia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and enrolled as an artist and pedagogue of extraordinary musicality, great merits for the development of violin art, a significant figure in our not so rich space of art music. He and his followers are important links and inaugurators of significant achievements in musical artistic life, and especially in working at the Music Academy of the University of Sarajevo, where he successfully achieved pedagogical and artistic ambitions of a man for whom art was inspiration and consolation, and then life and the professional commitment. (Dr. Ivan Čavlović, Prof. Emeritus)
