University of Sarajevo Music Academy 2020/2021 Concert Season Opened

The University of Sarajevo Music Academy 2020/2021 Concert Season officially started on 23 October at the House of the Armed Forces of BiH with a concert by the best students of the instrumental departments, as well as the departments of composition and solo singing.

Academy teachers, associates, students and friends have conceived dozens of concert events this year as well, which, despite the pandemic conditions, will maintain the continuity of the life of art music in Sarajevo and other cities in BiH.

With this, the Music Academy responsibly continues its activity as the most active organizer of art music concerts in Sarajevo, but also in BiH, which annually produces and presents to the public about 50 concerts of individual artists, chamber ensembles, orchestras, choirs, and other artistic and scientific public projects.

The upcoming concerts will present to the audience the artistic work of professors, students and guests of the Academy, as well as the Academy's vocal and instrumental ensembles.

Among the announced events during November and December are the concert presentation of the book “Alexander Technique in Accordion” by Professor Belma Šarančić, a recital by pianist and Professor Azra Medić, and concerts by cellist Krešimir Lazar and pianist Domagoj Guščić. In cooperation with the Goethe-Institut, a gala concert is being prepared in honor of the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven, with premieres of the work Bosnian composers especially composed for this occasion - Professor Ališer Sijarić and Professor Dina Rešidbegović.

As the current epidemiological situation does not allow gatherings of more than thirty people indoors, only a small number of music lovers, with respect to mandatory measures, will have the opportunity to attend live concerts. That is why the Music Academy is preparing a parallel program of the Concert Season on an online platform, which will make the achievements of our top musicians available to the widest audience.

Information about the dates and links of the concerts will be distributed through the media, and the official website of the Music Academy of the University of Sarajevo and its social media.

The UNSA Music concerts in 2020/2021 are realized with the support of the Foundation for Music, Performing and Fine Arts.
