The concert will take place in the Concert Hall of Banski Dvor, bringing together two accomplished musicians whose long-standing collaboration explores the connections between contemporary jazz and the rich musical heritage of the Balkans.

A BLEND OF JAZZ AND BALKAN MUSICAL HERITAG

Vasil Hadžimanov, a pianist, composer and arranger, graduated from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. He has developed a distinctive musical style that combines Balkan musical heritage with contemporary jazz, funk and world music influences.

As the founder of the Vasil Hadžimanov Band, he has performed extensively at home and abroad throughout his decades-long career, collaborating with prominent musicians from the international music scene.

A MUSICAL DIALOGUE BETWEEN PIANO AND TAPAN

Together with his long-time musical collaborator Aleksandar Petrov, Hadžimanov will present a unique musical dialogue between piano and tapan, a traditional Balkan drum.

The programme will feature original compositions alongside arrangements of selected folk songs, offering audiences a more intimate experience of the two artists’ musical expression.

Improvisation, powerful rhythmic energy and artistic freedom will shape this musical encounter, bringing contemporary jazz into dialogue with traditional Balkan sounds.
