A word from the selector

Welcome to the 30th International Review of Composers!

We are planning the thirtieth edition of the Review in the hope that the concerts, despite the pandemic, will be held live in the venues. However, due to the limited number of visitors, we are also planning an “online” version of the festival and recording concerts that will be broadcast on the channels of the Serbian Broadcasting Corporation.

The program includes forty-six works by composers from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Finland, Italy, Russia, Germany, Belgium, and the United States, which represent very different aesthetic “voices” of recent creativity in the domain of contemporary art music, both globally and locally. There will be a total of seven concerts during the five days of the festival, which will feature chamber compositions for various combinations of instruments, with or without electronics, mostly for smaller ensembles; but, we will also hear the latest works for string orchestra and soloists. Works by composers of all generations will be presented, from those whose names are already well-known to our audiences, to the youngest generation of Serbian artists.

The most prominent Serbian ensembles specialising in contemporary music, Metamorphosis and Gradilište [The Construction Site], which interpret most of our programmes every year, will perform again, while the compositions for string orchestra will be performed by the ensemble Thirteen Strings with conductor Ivan Marković and soloists Borislav Čičovački, Saša Mirković and Srđan Sretenović. In addition to them, the Belgrade Trio, Aratos Trio, as well as numerous soloists will perform, and the festival will open with a performance by the ensemble of four double basses called Bass Chorus (Slovenia), under the artistic direction of double bassist Zoran Marković.

In addition to the compositions submitted to the competition, the program will include two significant piano works created in the second half of the twentieth century, Sofferte onde serena by Luigi Nono and Klavierstück IX by Karlheinz Stockhausen, which will be performed by pianist Nemanja Egerić. These works will also be discussed within the programme Tribina u tribini [A Panel within the Review], where Isidora Žebeljan’s work New Lada's song without words will also be presented.
